My Department is supportive of the proposed acquisition by Carlow IT of a particular site in Wexford for the development of a new purpose-built campus. Funding has been allocated to enable IT Carlow to acquire this site. 

We are aware that the ongoing engagement between Carlow IoT and the vendor on the progression of the sale of the site has taken longer than expected. However, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions, we are not in a position to comment any further at this time.
