View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 758, 759 and 760 together.
I wish to advise that a permanent site for the school referred to by the Deputy has been identified and that my Department is in advanced discussions with another public body to acquire a site.
However, due to the confidential nature of these discussions, it is not possible to provide further information at this time.
My Department will keep the patron informed of any key developments in advancing the permanent site for the school.
In tandem with the site acquisition, my Department expects to be engaging with the patron of the school shortly in relation to the school's interim accommodation arrangements for September 2022.
