The Office of Public Works in Ireland act as agents for the Department of Education & Science in the acquisition of sites for schools, and solely on their instruction. The Department requested that the Commissioners source a site for a development in Co. Cork. The requirement was advertised on 3 occasions, most recently in September 2007. Following the September advertisement, a number of options were proposed; these options were technically assessed, and a Technical Report was prepared and forwarded to the Department for consideration.
