As the Deputy is aware, a capital project for the provision of a permanent school building for the school in question to cater for a Long Term Projected Enrolment of 1,000 pupils, is being addressed through my Department’s School Building Programme.

A master planning exercise for the state owned site referred to by Deputy is well advanced at this point. The master planning process included engagement with the local authority and the relevant education stakeholders, including the patron body of the school referred to by the Deputy.

It is envisaged that further engagement with the relevant stakeholders will take place, which will enable the completion of the master plan and the progression of the proposed permanent building.
