My Department is progressing with the relocation of the school in question to an alternative site for the academic year beginning September 2009. Officials in my Department are liaising with the school authorities and other interested parties in this regard.

On the broader development of the Grangegorman campus, the Grangegorman Development Agency has submitted a revised draft strategic plan and budget to my Department. These documents are currently being examined by officials in my Department. When this examination is complete I intend to bring proposals to Government for a decision on the way forward.
