I propose to take Questions Nos. 227 and 266 together.

I can confirm that the acquisition of a site for a new building for the school referred to by the Deputies is being progressed by my Department. Negotiations with the owners of suitable sites are ongoing. However, due to the commercially sensitive nature of these negotiations, I am not in a position to give further details at this time.

However, once the acquisition of a site is finalised, a Design Team for the project will be appointed with a view to its progression to tender and construction in line with the five year plan.
