I am pleased to inform the Deputy that approval for a building project to cater for a projected long-term pupil enrolment of 600 pupils issued to the Patron of the school in question in November 2011.

I announced late last year that arrangements are now being put in place for the Office of Public Works (OPW) and the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) to assist my Department by delivering some of the new schools and extensions required from 2013. This is in addition to the projects that are being managed by individual Vocational Education Committees around the country.

The school in question is being delivered under these new arrangements and the school authority will be informed as quickly as possible.
