229. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of a new school building for a school (details supplied); if a suitable green field site has been identified; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7440/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware, the project to which he refers was announced as part of my Department's Six Year Capital Programme in 2015.
Officials in my Department continue to work closely with officials from the relevant local authority under the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the acquisition of a suitable permanent location for the school to which the Deputy refers and with the assistance of Council officials a short-list of site options was identified and technically assessed.
Work on the site acquisition process is currently ongoing with a view to acquiring the most suitable site for the school. I can assure the Deputy that every effort is being made to advance the site acquisition process as expeditiously as possible.
