I propose to take Questions Nos. 447 and 448 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the school referred to has submitted an application to my Department for capital funding for additional accommodation. The Deputy is aware that the school has indicated that the school site is constrained. My Department will continue to engage with the school authority in the context of assisting the school to meet its additional accommodation needs.

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department approved funding to the school in question to construct a Home Economics Room.

The school has since written to my Department seeking additional accommodation. The school's correspondence will be considered and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority subsequently.
