I propose to take Questions Nos. 452 and 456 together.

The school to which the Deputy refers to was approved funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2018 to enable it to build two classrooms, two small safe spaces, two standard WC, two general storage rooms and one laundry room.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that this project was approved to go to Construction in June 2021. Included within the overall scope of this project was the relocation of the existing gas pipe around the footprint of the new extension and the installation of new radiators in the extension with heating pipes connecting to the existing network.
