I can confirm officials from my Department have been working to identify and procure a suitable site for the school to which the Deputy refers. A potential site option has been identified and this is currently under consideration.

Once a suitable site has been acquired, my Department will be in a position to progress the project concerned into the architectural planning process.

While a site acquisition process is underway, given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
