My Department is working closely with Meath County Council to progress the proposal to facilitate housing units on the site adjacent to the school site referred to by the Deputy. There has been ongoing positive and constructive engagement between senior officials in my Department and Meath County Council in that regard.

Arising from recent discussions on the matter, my Department received a proposal from the Department of Housing Planning and Local Government on January 22nd and this is currently under consideration.
