As the Deputy is aware, a project to provide permanent accommodation for the schools in question is included on my Department's Capital Programme.

Officials in my Department are liaising with officials in the relevant local authority in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the acquisition of a suitable site to facilitate the building project. The proposed location for the schools, on the Cement Road in Drogheda, has been agreed and all parties are currently working to finalise the terms of this proposed acquisition and advance matters as quickly as possible.

Subsequent to the completion of the site acquisition process, subject to no issues arising, the project to deliver the new schools will progress into architectural planning.
