I thank the Minister of State for that update. I very much welcome that the service level agreement was issued to Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board on 5 July. I have no doubt it will wing its way back to the Department very quickly and allow it to appoint the design team. I commend the school, its principal, Liam O'Mahoney, chairman of the board, Councillor Daniel Butler and the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board under chief executive, George O'Callaghan, for the work they have done in progressing this project. I have enjoyed working with them in bringing it to fruition.

The school is located in a temporary building on the grounds of the old Mungret College, which is an historical building. As the Minister of State will appreciate, many of the buildings are temporary in nature and will have to remain until such a time as the new school is built. Will the Minister of State indicate where matters stand in terms of the location and acquisition of a site from Limerick City and County Council?
