Written answers

Minister for Education and Youth

My department can confirm that it owns a 1.9 acre site across the road from the main campus referred to by the deputy. The potential future use of this piece of land is still being considered by this department in the context of educational requirements in the area.

Once my department has fully determined the requirements in this area we will be in a position to confirm the plans for this land and engage with the appropriate stakeholders.
