I propose to take Questions Nos. 228, 230 and 232 together.
As requested by the Deputy I have set out below details of all sites acquired by my Department in 2009. Due to commercial sensitivities pertaining to site acquisitions generally it is not the Department's policy to provide details of the purchase cost of sites so recently acquired or any information in respect of sites acquired in 2010 as this information could prejudice ongoing negotiations for school sites.
