I propose to take Questions Nos. 510 and 571 together.

I can confirm to the Deputy that the school to which he refers have applied for large scale capital funding. The applications have been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects. Progress on individual projects will be considered in the context of the multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
