View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 304 and 311 together.
The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included on the Department's Capital Programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP).
My Department is currently developing the accommodation brief for the project and when finalised, my Department will be in contact with the school authorities regarding the progression of the project. I understand that the school amalgamation will operate from September 2020.
