The school to which the Deputy refers opened in temporary accommodation in September 2015. As the Deputy will be aware, a building project for the school is included in the 6 year construction programme announced last November.

My Department is working closely with the Local Authority in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable permanent site for the school. Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to provide further details at this time. Once a site is acquired, the architectural planning process to provide a permanent school building can commence.
