I wish to advise the Deputy that the developer in this matter has advised my Department that the site originally offered for the construction of a new school for the school referred to by the Deputy is held as security with a lending institution. My Department understands that the developer will not be in a position to transfer the site until he has worked through 75% of the overall development. The further progression of this project will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme.
