My Department issued comments on the stage 2b submission to the Board of Management on 7th February and requested confirmation from the Board that the new school site has been finalised between the Patron body and the land owner. My Department has recently been in contact with the BOM who has advised that the site agreement is nearing completion.　
Upon completion of the site acquisition by the Patron, my Department will then revert to the Board of Management with regard to further progression of the project.
