My Department has been in discussions with the management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy regarding the long term accommodation needs of the school. In conjunction with the local inspector, it has been determined that a 16 classroom primary school will adequately meet the long term requirements of the school.

The management authority of the school has proposed that their permanent accommodation solution be provided as part of the development referred to by the Deputy. The school authority was to submit firm proposals to my Department and these proposals are awaited.
