It is assumed that the Deputy is referring to the lands at St. Edmundsbury Lucan in the context of a requirement for a site for St. Andrew's National School. The Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of the Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, has been asked to source a site for the school to which the Deputy refers. A number of site options have emerged and the Department is currently examining a report from the OPW which identifies a preferred site option. In the circumstances, the issue of a compulsory purchase does not arise in relation to this matter at this time.
