Minister for Education and Skills

As the Deputy may be aware, a building project for the school in question is included in my Department's capital programme.

Officials in my Department have identified a preferred site for the school and negotiations are ongoing at present.

Officials are working to progress matters as expeditiously as possible in order to facilitate the school building at the earliest possible date. The school patron body is being kept informed on the matter.
