My Department worked closely with officials from Wexford County Council (WCC) under the Memorandum of Understanding to identify a suitable site for the provision of the school referred to by the Deputy. WCC identified the site purchased, as potentially suitable for the development of a primary school under the MOU in late 2016. A meeting was held in 2017 between Department Officials and Wexford County Council to review a preliminary assessment of the sites identified by Wexford County Council and some other potential options. At this meeting Wexford County Council officials confirmed that they considered the site in question to be suitable for the primary school development.
