Officials from my Department have been working closely with Laois County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the new post-primary school to open in Portlaoise in September 2017.

A number of potential site options were identified and assessed and a shortlist of preferred site options is currently under further consideration.

While a site acquisition process is under way, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
