I propose to take Questions Nos. 234 and 235 together.

I can confirm that my Department has received an application for additional accommodation from the school referred to by the Deputy. In the assessment of the application, my Department will take account of a recent additional teaching post approved for the school. A decision will be conveyed to the school authority when the assessment process is completed.

My Department has no record of receiving an application for temporary accommodation from the school.
