Officials from my Department have been working closely with the relevant Local Authorities under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the school.

A number of potential site options have been considered and from these a preferred site option has been identified.  Engagement with the relevant landowner in respect of the proposed acquisition is underway. 

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

Once a suitable site has been acquired my Department will be in a position to progress the project concerned into the architectural planning process
