The schools to which the Deputy has referred have agreed to amalgamate into a single boy's and single girl's school. The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, are considering a number of site proposals with the intention of providing a site for the girl's school. Due to commercial sensitivities of site acquisitions, it is not proposed at this stage to identify specific sites being considered. With regard to the boy's school, the position is that the Patron has offered to provide a site to accommodate the new school and communications are ongoing with the Patron on the matter.
