The building project for Gaelscoil an Chaisleáin is included in my Department's capital programme. Officials in my Department continue to liaise with officials in Cork City Council in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site for the school.

A number of site options have been proposed and assessed. A potential site option has been identified and discussions are ongoing with the landowner with a view to acquiring this site.

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