I propose to take Questions Nos. 194 and 195 together.

The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme announced last November. It is envisaged that this project will proceed to tender/construction in 2018, as outlined in the Programme.

A site acquisition process in respect of this school building project is underway and is currently at conveyancing stage.
