I propose to take Questions Nos. 66 and 97 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that in light of the scale of the demand on the finite capital resources of my Department that my Department will be prioritising the acquisition of a site suitable for a permanent building for the post primary school to which he refers rather than an educational campus. As the Deputy will be aware, my Department is working closely with the relevant Local Authority in relation to identifying and acquiring a suitable site in this regard. Due to commercial sensitivities attaching to site acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
