I propose to take Questions Nos. 171 to 173, inclusive, together.

I can confirm to the Deputy that an application for new accommodation was first received from the school in question in 1999. The building project to provide three general classrooms and associated ancillary accommodation is at an advanced stage of the architectural planning process. The further progression of the project through to construction phase will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
