The correspondence to which the Deputy refers relates to the provision of a site to facilitate a school building project which is included on my Department's capital programme.

Officials in my Department have engaged with officials in the relevant Local Authority under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in relation to the procurement of such a site. A number of site options were comprehensively assessed and a preferred site option has been identified. Officials are currently working to progress this matter.
