In respect of a solution for the permanent school to which the Deputy refers, I wish to confirm that the two potential site options are being explored.
With regard the first potential site option, the Department is currently seeking clarification on a number of issues which would impact on the deliverability of this site in a timely manner.
A technical assessment of the second potential site option has been undertaken. There were a number of matters identified in the technical assessment and officials in my Department are currently consulting with the Local Authority in order to finalise the assessment of this potential site option.
A solution for the school remains a priority for my Department. The school patron will be kept informed of any key developments.
Due to commercial sensitivities the Department cannot provide any further information at this time.
