View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that following extensive site identification, assessment and negotiation process, the Department has reached agreement in principle, subject to contract, for the acquisition of a site at Creagh, Gorey, Co Wexford as a permanent location for the school, to which the Deputy refers.
The conveyancing stage of the acquisition process has commenced Heads of Terms having been agreed with the Vendor and draft contracts exchanged.
The Deputy will appreciate that negotiations in respect of site acquisitions are, by their nature, sensitive and for that reason, I am not in a position to provide any further information at this time.
