Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

My Department is considering options for the long-term accommodation needs of the school to which the Deputy refers, including the possible purchase of a site. However, due to the commercial sensitivities surrounding site acquisitions the Deputy will appreciate that I am unable to comment on specific site purchase issues.
