The Commissioners of Public Works act as agents for the Department of Education and Science in the acquisition of sites for primary schools. Five sites were assessed as to their suitability as a possible alternative location for the school referred to. Negotiations to acquire a site are currently at an advanced stage. However, it would inappropriate to reveal the precise details at this point as it would likely prejudice future negotiations.
