I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a suitable site for the school in question has been identified. Acquisition of the site is at an advanced conveyancing stage. The school referred to by the Deputy has not requested additional accommodation, however, a new school in this area is expected to commence operation next September and the planning section of my Department is currently liaising with the chairperson of the board of management with a view to procuring temporary accommodation to facilitate its commencement plans.
