I propose to take Questions Nos. 490 and 515 together.

The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally has been requested to source a site for the Gaelscoil in question. While a suitable parcel of land has been identified, a map of the specific area within that parcel that is offered for sale has been requested and is awaited from the vendor. This map is required in order to clarify specific suitability issues such as topography, access, connections to services etc.

As soon as OPW receive this map, these more detailed issues can be examined. On completion of the site acquisition, the project will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006 -2010.
