The new site for the school referred to by the Deputy was acquired by the school Patron from a local developer as a result of a land swap. My Department has funded the construction of the new school. However, the project scope was predicated on the assurance that certain site development works and appropriate site access from the main road were to be carried out by the developer such as access road/path as part of the overall deal with the school Patron. It has been brought to my attention that the developer has not, as yet, completed this work. I understand that the Board of Management of the school is engaging with the developer to progress the terms of their agreement. My officials are monitoring the situation.
