The property management section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department on site acquisitions generally, has identified a number of site options for the school referred to by the Deputy. Discussions between the relevant landowners and OPW are ongoing. 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. The question of the provision of new accommodation for the school will be considered further when a site has been acquired.
