The schools to which the Deputy refers have agreed to amalgamate into a single boys' and single girls' school. The property management section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of the Department in site acquisitions generally, has been asked to source a site for the girls' school. In this regard, the OPW will shortly readvertise for possible suitable sites. With regard to the boys' school, the patron has offered to provide a site to accommodate the new school and communications are ongoing with the patron on the matter.
