The property management section of the OPW, which acts on behalf of my Department in regard to site acquisitions generally, was originally requested to investigate the possibility of acquiring a site for the proposed amalgamation of schools referred to by the Deputy.

Subsequently, the school authority identified a possible suitable site. This site was inspected by a member of my Department's technical staff. A report on this inspection is now under consideration. As soon as a decision is made on the matter officials in the building unit of my Department will be in direct contact with the school.
