As the Deputy is aware, work is ongoing to identify the causes of flooding on the site to which he refers, with a view to identifying appropriate remediation measures and the feasibility of these measures. This process is ongoing. In the meantime, my Department has identified a suitable site for the new school and is progressing acquisition of this site.
