As the Deputy may be aware, the building project for the school in question is included in my Department's capital programme.

Officials in my Department continue to liaise with officials in the relevant local authority in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site for the school. 

A number of potential sites were identified by the local authority and were technically assessed.  From these, a shortlist of site options has been selected and these are currently subject to more detailed consideration.

Due to commercial sensitivities relating to site acquisitions generally I am not in a position to provide further details at this time but I can assure the Deputy that the school patron will be informed of the proposed location for the school as soon as it is possible to do so.
