The school to which the deputy refers requires interim temporary accommodation to meet its short-term accommodation needs. The Department is engaged with the school in question and its design team with a view to delivering the required level of provision as safely and expeditiously as possible.

The intended location of the temporary accommodation has been identified as the most appropriate site available to the school by the school's design team. The Department will consider any viable proposals made by the school and its design team in terms of play space that may be displaced as a result of this project.
