The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works (OPW) which acts on behalf of my Department in site acquisitions generally, has been requested to source a suitable site for the school in question.

At this stage the OPW have identified what they consider to be the most suitable site and my Department has conveyed its approval for its acquisition. The site comprises two lots of land. Negotiations for the acquisition of the site are now complete and the OPW have issued letters of offer and are awaiting draft contracts.

On completion of the site acquisition the project can be considered further in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme.
