The schools to which the Deputy refers made certain requests of my Department for capital works in the context of an amalgamation negotiation. They have not, otherwise, completed a formal application for funding for major works.

Any application from the schools for major refurbishment works will be ssessed in accordance with the relevant governing criteria which treat all applications in an open, transparent and equitable manner. It is not possible at this stage to say when construction will commence on the project referred to by the Deputy.
