As the Deputy is aware the project in respect of the education campus in Buncrana is included on my Department's capital programme.

At the recent meeting with the Council the preferred site option was confirmed and the next steps to progress an acquisition were identified and initiated.  In that context, officials from the Council, on behalf of my Department, have engaged further with the landowner in question. 

I have received a request to meet with representatives of the school authorities and a reply will issue to the school authorities in respect of this request. I can assure the Deputy that all parties are working to bring this acquisition process to a completion as early as possible.
