I propose to take Questions Nos. 534 and 535 together.

In relation to the school to which the Deputy refers, my Department is aware of some issues and is in close contact with DDLETB in respect of these issues. My Department and DDLETB are currently considering the most appropriate approach to facilitate a comprehensive solution for these issues in the medium term. The option remains open to the school to submit any Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) applications that it may deem appropriate in the interim. My Department will keep DDLETB and the school informed throughout the process.
