I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of an application, for additional school accommodation, from the school authority in question.

Officials from my Department have recently corresponded with the school Patron in relation to their application and on receipt of their response the application can be progressed.

The school building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme.

A tender process is ongoing for the establishment of a new framework of contractors for delivery of a bundle of design and build projects which is expected to be completed in Quarter 1 of 2021. It is expected that in Quarter 2 of 2021, this school building project will be included in a subsequent bundle of projects to be tendered to the new framework.

Pending delivery of the permanent building project, my Department will continue to address the interim accommodation needs of the school on its permanent site.
