There are some sensitive issues regarding land acquisition that we cannot deal with publicly. Cork County Council is working to secure a site for this Gaelscoil but there are commercial sensitivities. The Department cannot go along and announce that it wants a particular site and drive up the price. There are other issues which also have to be addressed around planning, sustainability and access, and these are ongoing. It is not just a matter for the Department of Education and Skills which will provide the funding for it but we are also relying on Cork County Council to facilitate zoning and planning for the site.
