I 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 Fassaroe, Bray, Co. Wicklow as a permanent location for the school, to which the Deputy refers.
The conveyancing stage of the acquisition process has commenced and Heads of Terms have been agreed with the Vendor.
The acquisition of this property is conditional on the delivery of the required road and services infrastructure to serve the proposed school site. This infrastructure forms part of a live planning application for a residential development.
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.
