I propose to take Questions Nos. 1209 and 1289 together.

The property management section of the OPW, which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, is continuing to explore the possibility of acquiring a suitable site to cater for the new primary school referred to by the Deputy.

As soon as a site has been acquired, the school building project will be progressed in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2005-2009.
