307. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if a site has been identified for a secondary school (details supplied) in County Dublin as the school is currently located in Kilternan Rugby Club, which is not conducive to the school's long-term accommodation needs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy may already be aware, the project to deliver a new school building for the school to which he refers was announced to go to construction in 2018.

A suitable permanent site has been identified for the school and the acquisition process is underway.

Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time. I can, however, assure you that the acquisition of a new site for the school is a priority for the Department and that the patron body, Educate Together, will be informed of the location for the school as soon as it is possible to do so.
