As the Deputy is aware, a potential permanent site option has been identified and discussions are ongoing with the landowner with a view to acquiring this site. I can assure the Deputy that the acquisition of a suitable site for the school in question is very active on the programme of site acquisitions and every effort is being made to secure the suitable site for the school as expeditiously as possible.

Due to the nature of an ongoing negotiation, and the level of commercial sensitivity involved, it will not be possible disclose any further information at this stage. The Department, however, is committed to keeping all parties up to date with progress, as it becomes possible to make further announcements.
