I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the proposed new post-primary school project to which he refers has recently been authorised to proceed to tender and subject to no issues arising it is envisaged that construction should commence early in 2017. Once on site it will take approximately 24 months for the building to be completed.

Adequate accommodation has already been provided on site to cater for the first year's enrolment. Pending completion of the new building, this accommodation will be enhanced accordingly to bring it in line with future enrolment demands.
