Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has been working very closely with officials from Cork County Council to secure suitable lands for the schools referred to by the Deputy. I can confirm that suitable lands have been identified and the conveyancing process in relation to their acquisition is underway.
In tandem with the completion of the conveyancing process, the project for the schools concerned is being progressed under my Department's Design and Build programme. A project manager has been appointed and a meeting will shortly be arranged with the school's patron to explain the Design & Build process and to outline next steps.
