My Department has approved the provision of a new school building for the school referred to by the Deputy. My Department is satisfied that the accommodation to be provided for 400 pupils plus provision for Special Education Needs classes will cater for the long term needs of the school.
This project requires the provision of a new site. A number of potential site options have been identified and these are currently under consideration. Given the commercial sensitivities associated with land acquisitions generally, I am not in a position to comment further at this time.
