As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school referred to is included in my Department's 6 Year Capital Programme.
The project for the school in question was being progressed in the School Building Programme on the basis of an available site, i.e. the current site in the ownership of the ETB. In that regard a technical site visit was carried out by my Department at the ETB site with a view to developing the project brief. In regard to the alternative site referred to by the Deputy, I can confirm that my Department has not received a submission from the school Patron in relation to the acquisition of this site. A submission for an alternative proposal would be considered by my Department should the Patron wish to submit same.
