Question 1203: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the position in regard to the acquisition of a site for a new national school at Kill, County Kildare; if her attention has been drawn to the need to expedite the process in view of the proximity of the present school to a major road works project and a consequent safety concern arising therefrom; if she expects to achieve progress in this regard in the current year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The property management section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, is continuing to explore the possibilities of acquiring a site for a new national school at Kill, County Kildare. Due to the commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions, it is not proposed at this stage to identify specific sites to be acquired. However, this information will be placed on my Department's website when the relevant acquisitions have been completed. My Department is aware of the urgency of the case and every effort is being made to acquire a site as soon as possible.
