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 suitable site for the school in question.

A number of proposals were received by OPW on foot of advertising. These proposals are currently being examined by OPW and officials in my Department are awaiting a final report. On completion of the site acquisition the project can then be considered further in the context of the School Building and Modernisation programme 2007-2011.
