Minister for Education and Skills

My Department has identified a suitable location and the Office of Public Works (OPW) is currently in negotiations to secure the lease. As the lease is currently under negotiation the deputy will understand that it would not be appropriate for me to comment at this stage on the cost of acquiring the location.
