As the Deputy is aware, a project to deliver permanent accommodation for the schools to which he refers is on my Department's Capital Programme.  The acquisition of a site was required in order to facilitate this project.

This acquisition is currently at a very advanced stage.  Planning permission has been received in respect of this project and once the site acquisition is completed, the project will move to tender and construction subject to no issues arising.

The school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of the tender process. My Department has reviewed the preliminary tender report and has authorised the Design Team to issue a letter of intent to the preferred bidder and subject to no issues arising it is envisaged that the project will commence on site later this year.
