I can confirm that an application has recently been received from the school referred to by the Deputy for financial assistance towards the cost of purchasing additional land, in order to extend the school site. This matter is being considered and my Department will be in contact with the school authorities in this regard shortly.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 193 and 194 together.

The application from the school to which the Deputy refers is currently being re-considered. The Planning and Building unit of my Department will be in contact with the school directly when a decision has been taken in this matter.
