The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school to which she refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Capital Programme.

My Department officials have been working closely with officials in the relevant local authority under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites with a view to securing a site for the school in question.  Local Authority officials, on this Department’s behalf, are currently engaged with a landowner with a view to reaching agreement on a proposed acquisition.  The Deputy can be assured that all parties are working to advance the site acquisition process as expeditiously as possible.
