My Department has made various attempts to secure a site for the school in question. This included a possible site at the Murphy Barracks Complex in Ballincollig and also a site that was identified by the local school.

Neither of these options have proved viable so my Department now intends to instruct the Office of Public Works to advertise again for a site for the school. The timescale for the new school will depend on the acquisition of a suitable site. However, my Department will keep the school authorities informed of developments.
