View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 445 and 458 together.
I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for large scale capital funding to provide a new PE Hall.
In view of the financial constraints imposed by the need, as outlined in the Five Year Plan, to prioritise available funding for the provision of essential teaching accommodation to meet demographic demand, the Deputy will appreciate that it is not possible to provide an indicative timeframe at this time for the progression of the proposed project.
