As the Deputy is aware, a Minister-owned site has been identified as an option for potential redevelopment to accommodate a second school. Representatives of the existing school have agreed to collaborate with my Department to carry out a master plan study to assess the potential of developing a second school on the Minister-owned site. The outcome of the master plan study will determine the next steps to be taken.

Once a permanent site has been confirmed, the project will progress to the architectural design & planning stages.

It is not possible to provide any further information, at this time.
