I am advised that the file for the school in question was not missing. I understand the Deputy may be referring to a comment on the file which was released under the Freedom of Information Act referring to lack of progress in the case. The lack of progression of the site issue was impeded as the initial search for a greenfield site in the area had not been successful. My officials have had several meetings recently with the relevant stakeholders with a view to examining how the existing school can be accommodated on the current site.
