I understand that the former Minister, Deputy Richard Burton, was in receipt of a request to meet a deputation from the school in question.

The Patron of the school is the local Education and Training Board (ETB) and I understand that it is keeping the school and parents up to date on plans for the finish out of a building project at the school which ceased when the contractor went into liquidation.  

The ETB and its Design Team is making arrangements for a replacement contractor.  This work is well underway.  The revised completion date for the project is now August 2019 in time for the commencement of the 2018/19 school year.  I understand that the programme remains on track to achieve this completion date.  On this basis I would like to provide assurances that every effort is being made by the ETB to ensure that the completion programme is adhered to and this is being closely monitored by my Department.
