The Office of Public Works (OPW) who acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, has been asked to source a suitable site for this school. The OPW have advised my Department that the requirement for a site has been advertised and that a technical assessment of the sites on offer has been completed. The matter is now with their Valuation Unit. In due course a report on the OPW's findings will be provided to my Department.

The outcome of this process will determine the need or otherwise to involve South Dublin County Council in the site purchase.
