Every opportunity is being provided here. The Department is very clear in its intention to deliver an ambitious schools building programme throughout the country which includes this school. As the Deputy can see from the report I have given, the project is moving apace. It is a significant acknowledgement that following the appointment of the project manager, the site visit has taken place and now we can continue to move apace, to use the Deputy's phrase.

It is important for the benefit of all school communities that we have the facilities that meet their needs. Every opportunity and priority we can give will be given. It is part of a very ambitious building programme we are undertaking throughout the country. We will advance this project as quickly as we can. We are mindful of the benefit it will be to the school community. In the interim, I acknowledge the excellent work of the school community in delivering education.
