Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that discussions are ongoing between my Department and the Patron of the school, in question, in respect of the school's long term requirements.
The Deputy may be aware that the school submitted a proposal through their Patron to relocate the school within the Portlaoise area to meet its long term needs. My Department has scheduled a technical site visit to examine the proposed alternative location and further to that visit my Department will be in a position to consider the matter further.
My Department is also in contact directly with the school concerned in relation to meeting its immediate accommodation needs for September 2015.
