I propose to take Questions Nos. 405 and 439 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that a suitable site has been identified for the school in question. The site comprises of three plots of land with three separate vendors. The Department is continuing to progress any outstanding issues in consultation with the CSSO. When the site acquisition is complete, a building project for the school along with any proposed capital allocation will be considered in the context of the Department's School Building and Modernisation Programme. In the meantime temporary accommodation for the school has been approved by the Department as an interim measure to facilitate increased enrolments next September.
