Minister for Education and Youth

I propose to take Questions Nos. 549, 550 and 551 together.

It is intended that the school referred to by the deputy will relocate to a former primary school building that was vacated by a special school in late 2025.

My department is in ongoing engagement with the patron in relation to the school's relocation and the department carried out a technical visit to the building proposed for the relocation of the school.

My department has appointed a project manager who has examined options for refurbishment works at the planned building for this school. This report is currently under review in the Department and we will revert to the school's patron on full completion of this review.
