I wish to inform the Deputy that I have received the request to which he refers and a response to this request will issue shortly.

As the Deputy is aware the project to which he refers is included on my Department’s capital programme.

A preferred site option has been identified and officials from the relevant Local Authority, on behalf of my Department, have engaged in discussions with the landowner in question with a view to its acquisition. These discussions are progressing subject to clarification on some technical details which are currently under consideration. I can assure you that all parties are working to progress this process to a satisfactory conclusion as soon as possible.
