I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department acquired 9.63 hectares of land for educational purposes in 2010 in the area to which he refers. This was in addition to land previously acquired in the area for educational purposes. Due to commercial sensitivities pertaining to site acquisitions generally it is not my Department's policy to provide details of the purchase cost of sites recently acquired as it could jeopardise ongoing site acquisitions.
