239. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the acquisition of land from South Dublin County Council for a school (details supplied) is complete; the timeframe for the future development of the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53262/19]

As the Deputy may be aware, my Department is in the process of acquiring additional land adjacent to the existing site of the school in question. This land, which is in the ownership of South Dublin Co Co is presently being legally conveyed into my Department's ownership. Every effort is being made to expedite this conveyancing process. When the acquisition concludes, it will provide potential for the future development of the school.
