View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 246 and 277 together.
The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects.
A letter was issued to the school on 18 February 2022. This letter advised the school that the NDFA will write to them once all the preparation works are complete to make arrangements to meet with them to discuss the project brief for the school and the expected timeline for the project.
Conveyancing for the site acquisition for this project is at an advanced stage. Due to the commercially sensitive nature of site acquisitions generally, it is not possible to comment further at this stage.
