I propose to take Questions Nos. 903 and 904 together.

The Department recognises the need for a new Community School in Ballinamore. The Office of Public Works (OPW) are acting on behalf of the Department in relation to the acquisition of a site for the project and the acquisition of same is currently at contract/conveyancing stages. On completion of the site acquisition process the project will progress in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
