The Department has spent the years since 1999 trying to buy the site. Why has it taken 3.5 years to try to negotiate the sale of 1.5 acres of land in Tullamore? Is the Department or the Office of Public Works serious about the purchase of the site and are the landowners serious about its sale? Those suffering are the students who must attend an outdated and dilapidated school in Tullamore. They need a new school urgently. I hope the Minister of State is in a position to tell me that the matter has progressed.
