The acquisition of the site at Fassaroe, Bray, Co. Wicklow is at an advanced stage of the conveyancing process. It is intended that this site will provide a permanent location for the school referred to by the Deputy.

A major building project for this school is included on the Department's school building programme. This site is subject to an SHD application, which is currently with An Bord Pleanála for decision.

Once this process has concluded the project will progress to the architectural design & planning stages.

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