The site for the school referred to by the Deputy is being acquired by my Department under the terms of the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002. My Department has accepted in principle a site in Kells which was offered under the terms of the property aspect of the indemnity agreement between the State and 18 religious congregations dated 5 June 2002. Officials in my Department are awaiting receipt of the relevant contract documents.

The project in question is one of the 23 new post-primary schools announced under this Government's public private partnerships.
