Officials in my Department continue to liaise with officials in Cork City Council in relation to the identification and acquisition of suitable sites for the school in question.
A number of site options were identified. Each of these were investigated by my Department in conjunction with officials from Cork City Council. Unfortunately, in the case of all options identified, either the land could not be acquired from the landowner or the site was ultimately considered unfeasible to develop.
A potential suitable site has been identified in conjunction with the Local Authority and discussions are ongoing in relation to exploring all options available to my Department to obtain position of this site.
