The major building project at the school referred to by the Deputy was included in the 5 year construction programme announced in March and is scheduled to commence construction in 2015/2016. A design team has recently been appointed and the school authority has been instructed how to proceed to commence the project. My Department has been in contact with the school authority regarding the question of additional toilet facilities. The main project will deal with this issue in the medium to long term and the school has been informed that it may apply for small scale funding for an interim solution should that be necessary.
