The Deputy will be aware that a project to deliver a new school building for the school to which he has referred is included in the 5 year Building Programme which I announced in 2012. My officials have been working closely with officials from Kildare County Council in relation to acquiring a suitable site for the proposed new school building. Agreement in principle, subject to contract, has been reached in relation to a suitable site and work is continuing to acquire the site. However, given the sensitivities associated with land acquisitions, I am not in a position to comment further on the proposed acquisition at this time.
