The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works (OPW), which acts on behalf of my Department on the acquisition of sites for schools, has been requested to source a suitable site for this Gaelscoil. On foot of advertising, a number of proposals were received. Preliminary assessments have been carried out on all the proposed sites. The OPW are presently awaiting the observations and comments from the Local Authority on the preferred options.

When a suitable site has been secured the project will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme and the National Development Plan.
