I propose to take Questions Nos. 93 and 94 together.

I can confirm that a proposal for a school campus development has been received from the two schools, referred to by the Deputy. This proposal envisages that the development concerned will be progressed on the campus site also referred to by the Deputy. Both schools have the same patron, who owns the existing school sites concerned.

My Department has been liaising with the schools concerned and has met with them to discuss their proposal. It will be possible to progress the project further when additional information and clarifications sought by my Department is returned by the school authorities concerned.
