A suitable site has been identified which comprises of three separate plots of land with three separate vendors. Agreement on price and general terms (subject to Contract) has been reached in respect of each of the three plots and draft Contracts are with the Chief State Solicitor's Office for completion of the conveyancing. As all three plots are essential in order to make a viable and suitable site for the school, my Department has instructed the Chief State Solicitors Office to finalise all outstanding matters and arrange for the signing of Contracts and closure of the sales of all three sites simultaneously. As soon as the Chief State Solicitor's Office notifies my officials that all three contracts are ready to be signed, they will be signed without delay. As soon as the site is in the ownership of the Department, a building project for Ballygarvan will be considered for progression in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006 — 2010 and the National Development Plan.
