I can confirm that a building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department's six year construction programme.

This school project necessitates the acquisition of a suitable site and this process is currently in train. The architectural planning process for the new school building will commence as soon as the site is secured. My Department will be in further contact with the school in this regard at that point.

The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included in my Department's six year construction programme. In this regard, my Department has undertaken a site visit to the school in the context of initiating the preparatory work associated with advancing the project.

Pending completion of the project, my Department has approved funding to the school for interim temporary accommodation. This decision has been conveyed to the school.
