I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department has been in contact with the school to which he refers, seeking additional details relating to the application. The school has indicated that the information will be provided. Once this information has been received, the application will be considered further and a decision will be conveyed directly to the school authority.

I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application to my Department, earlier this month, for works to facilitate the amalgamation approved recently to proceed from 1st September 2016.

The application is currently under consideration and my Department will be in direct contact with the school when a decision is made.
