I propose to take Questions Nos. 1229, 1231 and 1232 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department requested Fingal County Council earlier this year to acquire permanent sites for the schools in question under the terms of the Fingal Memorandum Agreement. I am advised that negotiations are ongoing. Due to the commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions, I am not in a position to comment further on the matter at this time.

The acquisition of the sites will be dependant on the successful outcome of negotiations held by the local authority and will also need to be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
