As the Deputy will be aware, the religious congregation that owns existing school property has offered to transfer the property concerned to the State as part of its offer made in response to the publication of the report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (the Ryan Report).

My Department through the Chief State Solicitor's Office is currently working with the Solicitors acting on behalf of the Congregation concerned on the legal procedures and mechanisms required to facilitate the transfer of the property. The process is at an advanced stage.
