The Deputy will appreciate that the site acquisition programme is aimed predominantly at acquiring sites in areas experiencing a rapid growth in demand for school places. Specifically sites are acquired to provide permanent buildings for new school entities or for projects included in the 6 year school building programme that I announced in November 2015.
The vacant sites not listed in my response to the Deputy's previous Parliamentary Question are ones for which projects on the 6 year school building programme are planned. The timeline for when work is expected to proceed is outlined in the announcement. Each project is listed in the year when the commencement of construction works is anticipated.
