Officials from my Department continue to work closely with Galway City Council and Galway County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in order to identify and procure a suitable site for the school in question.

A number of potential site options have been identified and discussions with these landowners are ongoing.

Once the site acquisition process is complete the project to provide permanent accommodation for the school can be progressed into architectural planning.

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.
