I propose to take Questions Nos. 181, 222, 233 and 249 together.
My Department recently advised the school authority that it is not in a position to grant aid the relocation of the school in question to another property. In reaching this decision, my Department considered the costs associated with a relocation together with the fact that a building project is being advanced which will provide a permanent solution to the long-term accommodation needs of the school. The school has since indicated to my Department that it intends appealing this decision and will be seeking an improved rental quotation from the landlord of the property in question. Any further correspondence received from the school will be considered by my Department.
I am pleased to confirm to the Deputies that the school was one of the school building projects announced by the then Minister for Education and Science in February 2010 to begin the design process and appoint design teams in the last quarter of 2010. My Department has advised the school authority that it will be in contact with the school in due course regarding the appointment of a design team.
