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 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 possession of this site.

I can assure the Deputy that the acquisition of a suitable site for the school is very active on the programme of site acquisitions and every effort is being made to secure the suitable site for the school as expeditiously as possible.

Work on securing a permanent site for this school continues to be a priority for my Department. Discussions between officials in my Department, the Local Authority and landowners are ongoing. Being conscious of commercial sensitivities it is not possible to update the school any further at this time. Department officials will continue to update the school Patron on progress.
