As the Deputy is aware, my 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 in question.
The conveyancing stage of the acquisition process has commenced and Head of Terms have been agreed with the Vendor.
It is not possible at this early stage to provide a timeline for the construction of the new school. My Department will continue to engage directly with the school patron to keep it informed of progress.
