I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is engaged in identifying a suitable site for the school in question. The acquisition of a suitable site and the proposed building project for the school will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally. I am not in a position to say at this stage when the site acquisition will be concluded.

My Department has received a revised stage 2(a) submission (Developed Sketch Scheme) from the school authorities and this is currently being examined by the Department's Technical Staff.

Officials from my Department will be writing to the Board of Management shortly in this regard.

As is the case with all large capital projects currently on hand within the Department, its progression will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
