I can confirm Department officials are working to put a solution for the school's permanent accommodation in place at the earliest possible date. Unfortunately it is not possible to indicate a timeline for the confirmation of a location for the school at this point but I can assure the Deputy that the patron will be informed as soon as it is possible to do so.

193. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills when a new school building will be provided for a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; if the site for the new school has been acquired; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20870/19]

As the Deputy is aware the building project for the school in question is included on my Department's capital programme.

Negotiations with relevant landowners in respect of the potential acquisition of the zoned post primary school site in the relevant area are currently underway. These discussions are at a very advanced stage.

Once a site is secured, the project to deliver the school's new accommodation can progress into architectural planning.
