Minister for Education and Skills

As previously confirmed to  the Deputy, officials in my Department are currently making progress on the identification of a suitable site to accommodate the school to which the Deputy refers. Ongoing close engagement with Kildare County Council and discussions with a landowner on a potential site continue. Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions in general, I am not in a position to provide further details at this time.
