The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works, which normally acts as agent for my Department in the acquisition of sites for schools, was requested to source a suitable site for the school in question. I have been advised by the OPW that negotiations to acquire a suitable site for a new school referred to by the Deputy are ongoing. However, they have advised that it would be inappropriate to reveal the precise details at this point as it may prejudice those negotiations. On completion of the site acquisition, the project will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
