The Deputy will be aware that building projects for the schools in question are included in my Department's 6 year Construction Programme.

My Department has identified suitable sites as permanent locations for the schools and the acquisition process is underway. Discussions are ongoing in relation to the provision of access to the site and my Department is liaising with the Local Authority in this regard. 

I can assure the Deputy that the acquisition of a new site for both schools is a priority for my Department and it is my Department's intention to complete this process as expeditiously as possible.

My Department will continue to liaise directly with the school authorities concerned in the context of progressing the projects through the architectural planning process.
