I propose to take Questions Nos. 333 and 334 together.

As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which he refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme. 

The process of acquiring a suitable site to facilitate the proposed building project has recently been completed.  The project brief is now being finalised with a view to progressing the project into architectural planning.

In addition, I wish to advise the Deputy that an application by the school for additional temporary classroom accommodation was recently approved by my Department.
