Given the rapidly developing nature of Balbriggan, the Department is moving, as a matter of top priority, to acquire a number of sites reserved for both primary and post primary provision in the area. Discussions are at an advanced stage with the local authority in this regard. The Deputy will appreciate that due to commercial sensitivities, I am unable to comment on the specifics of any given site at this time.
