Minister for Education

I understand from the school authority, that there is an issue around title to the property and that the local authority is working with a private individual to address this issue. As both the school site and the land in question are not in state ownership, my Department has no role in this matter. However, the information provided by the school authority has been forwarded to the CSSO.
