I understand that negotiations between Meath County Council and the Department of Education and Skills regarding the transfer of the site to facilitate housing development in the Ashbourne area are at an advanced stage.

My Department has been actively engaging with the Department of Education and Skills in this regard, to highlight the potential value of this site to support housing delivery under Rebuilding Ireland, and to ensure that this site is brought forward for development, as soon as possible.
