As the Deputy is aware the project referred to is included in my Department's 6 year construction programme.

Officials from Donegal County Council on behalf of my Department have engaged with relevant landowners with respect to identified site options. Negotiations in this respect are ongoing with a view to progressing a site acquisition as soon as possible. 

Due to the commercial sensitivities attaching to site acquisitions generally, it is not possible to provide any further information at this time regarding the ongoing negotiation process.
