I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has received an application for additional accommodation from the school to which he refers.
In order to fully consider the accommodation issues arising, my Department's technical staff visited the school earlier this month. Following this visit, the application is being considered further and my Department expects to be in a position to convey a decision to the school shortly.
