I can confirm that in line with the Memorandum of Understanding, my Department is working closely with Fingal County Council in relation to identifying and acquiring a suitable site for the school referred to by the Deputy.
A potential site option for the school referred to by the Deputy has been identified and my Department is working with officials from Fingal County Council to progress the matter. Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to provide further details at this time.
As the Deputy will be aware, I recently announced a new programme of capital investment in schools for the period 2016 to 2021. The project for a new building for this school was included in that announcement as one of the projects expected to commence construction in 2018.
