I wish to inform the Deputy, that the further progression of the site acquisition will have to be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally. In light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the acquisition of the site at this time.
