The site identification and assessment exercise for Wicklow Town ETSS is ongoing and a potential property has been identified.

An architectural consultant has been appointed to commence an assessment of this potential property.

The Department provide updates to the patron body regarding the status of the new school project and will continue to keep them appraised of any future developments.

Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally I am not in a position to comment further at this time.

I wish to assure the Deputy that the provision of a permanent location for this school is a priority for the Department.
