Written answers

Minister for Education

I wish to advise the Deputy that the Chief State Solicitor's Office, acting on behalf of my Department, is currently progressing the acquisition of the property in question through the conveyancing stage.

My Department understands that the National Council for Special Education is currently supporting the school with a view to expediting their application for the works required to facilitate the establishment of special class provision.
