A submission has been received by the Department from the school authority in relation to a permanent location for the school on the Grangegorman site. The Department has always stated that it has no difficulty in principle with the school being permanently located in Grangegorman. This is acknowledged in the school's submission. The Department is requesting that this requirement be included in the master planning process for the overall site.

The decision on whether the Grangegorman site can provide a solution for the school's long term needs will ultimately rest with the Grangegorman Development Agency.
