I propose to take Questions Nos. 427 and 428 together.

As the Deputy may be aware, the building project for the school in question is included in the 6 year programme that was announced last November and is listed to proceed to tender and construction in 2019/21.

Officials from my Department have been working closely with Louth County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the school.

The Council has recently submitted a report on a number of potential site options and this is currently under consideration.
