As the Deputy is aware, the project for the school referred to, is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme.

In that regard, officials in my Department are working with officials from Donegal County Council under the MOU in relation to the acquisition process for a suitable permanent site for the schools to which the Deputy refers.

The acquisition of such a site is currently being progressed. Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
