As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of a new school for the area in question is a priority for the Department and it is actively trying to resolve site issues in relation to this provision. He will also appreciate, however, that due to the commercial sensitivities attaching to site acquisition, I am unable to comment on the specifics of individual sites.
