Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I cannot give a definite timeline. We have to work through these issues of both site acquisition and the technical assessments, which are complex. If I gave a commitment, I could not guarantee it would be honoured because we have to work with other parties and satisfy everyone that the site is suitable to achieve what we are all trying to achieve. I can assure the Deputy that I will convey to my officials the urgency with which he treats this. I can see from the frustration there has been and the build-up of need that this is a high priority. I can also assure the Deputy that, once the site is settled, we will certainly proceed to support the schools through the planning process and the various architectural requirements.
