The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works (OPW) which acts on my behalf in the acquisition of sites generally has been requested to source a site for the school in question. On foot of advertising a number of proposals were received. The OPW is currently in negotiations to acquire the most suitable of these sites. When a site has been acquired the project will be considered further in the context of the multiannual School Building and Modernisation programme.
