I propose to take Questions Nos. 246, 248 and 250 together.
My Department is working with the patron of the school in question to identify and secure suitable accommodation for the school's start up in 2014. In relation to the permanent location of the Gaelcholáiste, a number of options have been identified and are being progressed. Negotiations are ongoing and therefore given the sensitivities associated with land acquisitions, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
