The project for this school referred to by the Deputy requires the provision of a new permanent site and I am please to confirm that contracts have been signed for the acquisition of a suitable site. The acquisition is subject to the successful grant of planning permission for the school as well as Phase 1 of the proposed residential development.
The project brief is currently being developed and my Department will be liaising with the school patron when this process has been completed. Given the various stages of planning required, including statutory approvals, it is not possible to give a timeframe for the commencement of construction for this project at this time.
