I propose to take Questions Nos. 148 and 149 together.

As the Deputy is aware the building project for the school to which he refers is included on my Department's capital programme.

My Department is currently engaging with the school Trustees in relation to the requirement for a site to facilitate the project.

The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the schools in question is included in my Department's 6 year Construction Programme. The options for providing this accommodation are currently being explored by the school authority and my Department will continue to liaise directly with the school authority in this regard.
