I propose to take Questions Nos. 242 to 244, inclusive, together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is committed to providing improved accommodation for the school in question. The Deputy will be aware that there are certain complexities associated with the school site and my Department is currently considering the options available in addressing the school’s interim and long term accommodation needs. My Department will be in further contact with the patron when this process has been completed.

Until the project design is at a stage where statutory approvals, planning permission, etc. are secured, it is not possible to indicate an estimated timeline for the provision of a new school building.
