Fingal County Council have advised that the negotiations in relation to the acquisition of a site for the school in question have concluded. My Department, as sought by the local authority, has arranged to provide funding to the Council to enable the transaction to be completed which is being acquired under the Fingal Model Agreement. 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 future building project for the school will be considered in the context of the existing and competing demands on the schools building capital programme.
