Ms Valerie Kirwan:

I cannot go into detail on those particular schools right now because I would not have in-depth knowledge of the projects but I would be happy to revert to the Deputy on them. Delays can arise for various reasons but, as it stands, there is nothing there currently that would actually be holding back the projects. A project might be out of tender or there could be other reasons for delays at construction but I am not aware of any particular problems now. Earlier this year we had 61 paused projects, 29 of which were at the construction stage. A full 28 of those projects are now in construction. A total of 32 of those projects were paused at tendering stage but of that 32, two have gone through tendering and are in construction, while 28 are out of tendering stage and two are nearly out. I do not see delays in the school building programme as such.
