I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has made an application to my Department for permanent recognition. The application is currently being assessed and my Department expects to be in a position to convey a decision to the school authority shortly.
The Deputy will be aware that in the context of making provision for the long term accommodation needs of the school, my Department has conducted technical inspections of two properties at the request of the school authority. A proposal has been forwarded to the land owner for consideration. My Department is currently awaiting a response to this proposal.
In the meantime, my Department has approved funding under the Emergency Works Scheme for works to the school's water main, roof and sewerage system.
