I wish to advise the Deputy that County Dublin VEC have agreed to dispose of the site to the Department under the terms of a 99 year lease. The Department is waiting the legal documents in relation to same from the VEC.

In light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has no immediate plans to acquire the land in question. The acquisition of the site, if required, will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
