As the Deputy may be aware, the project in respect of the education campus in Buncrana to cater for the schools in question is included in my Department’s capital programme.

Officials in my Department continue to liaise with officials in Donegal County Council in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable location for the proposed education campus and have identified a preferred site option. Negotiations with the landowner in respect of this proposed acquisition are currently ongoing.

Once the site has been acquired, subject to no issues arising, the project will progress into the architectural planning process.
