My Department requested the OPW to locate a site for the school referred to by the Deputy. The OPW reported back to my Department in February 2008 indicating only one proposal was received in the Glasnevin area which was considered unsuitable.

The further progression of the acquisition of a site will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to the Department for school buildings generally. In light of the many competing demands on the capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the acquisition of the school site at this time.
