558. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the Buncrana three school campus project (details supplied); if he will report on a recent meeting between his department and Donegal county council to discuss site acquisition; if he will meet with a delegation to discuss the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware the project in respect of the education campus in Buncrana is included on my Department's capital programme.
At the recent meeting with the Council the preferred site option was confirmed and the next steps to progress an acquisition were identified and initiated. In that context, officials from the Council, on behalf of my Department, have engaged further with the landowner in question.
I have received a request to meet with representatives of the school authorities and a reply will issue to the school authorities in respect of this request. I can assure the Deputy that all parties are working to bring this acquisition process to a completion as early as possible.
