View answerMy Department continue to engage with officials in Cork City Council in relation to the identification and acquisition of suitable sites for the school in question.
A potential suitable site has been identified in conjunction with the Local Authority. The Department is currently exploring all options available to it to obtain position of this site.
The Department is also considering all options for the school for their September 2022 interim accommodation, including possible SEN provision, and will keep the school authority and its patron updated in this regard.
