I wish to advise the Deputy that officials in my Department have been working with officials from Meath County Council in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable permanent site for the school to which she refers.

Subsequent to appraisal of options, a suitable site option has been identified and is being progressed. Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time.

I can, however, assure the Deputy that the acquisition of a new site for the school is a priority for my Department.
