View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, a project to provide permanent accommodation for the school in question is included on my Department's Capital Programme.
Officials in my Department are liaising with officials in the relevant local authority in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the identification and acquisition of a suitable site to facilitate this project.
All parties are working to advance this progress as expeditiously as possible. The school patron is being kept informed in relation to the school site acquisition process.
