As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school referred to is included in my Department’s Capital Programme.

In the context of progressing the project it will be necessary to prepare a project brief. This process involves a site visit by technical staff of my Department. In that context, my Department will be in direct contact with the school authority shortly.
