View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department approved funding to the primary schools to which he refers under the Prefab Replacement Scheme in 2012. The school authorities subsequently submitted an alternative proposal that included consolidating accommodation on to a single site. My officials have met with both schools to discuss their proposal. Further clarifications in relation to the schools proposals is being sought and when this information is received, the matter can be progressed.
