As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school is being progressed within my Department's architectural planning process. I understand that the school's design team and school authority are working on the stage 2(a) report. A stage 2(a) stakeholders meeting will be arranged when the report is finalised. In these circumstances, I do not consider that convening a meeting as proposed would be beneficial at this time.

As the Deputy will also be aware, the school in question is one of a number of schools that it was not possible to include in the five-year construction programme. However, the school project is being progressed to the final planning stages so that it will be well placed for further progression in anticipation of additional funds being available to the Department.
