Ms Helen O'Neill:

The school is going to open in temporary start-up accommodation in Castletroy. The site is being sourced by the Department in co-operation with Educate Together, the patron body. The Department is also working with Limerick County Council under the memo of understanding, MOU, towards the acquisition of a permanent site. This process is ongoing since the start of 2016. Two potential sites have been shortlisted, but there are issues with both. The issues are being worked through and the negotiation process is still ongoing on the preferred site. Every effort is being made to expedite this matter.
