I propose to take Questions Nos. 708 and 753 together.
The school authorities recently applied for additional accommodation at Ransboro national school.
My Department's planning section is currently examining the long-term accommodation requirements of the school and when this examination is complete a decision on the request will be made having regard to the urgency of the works and the availability of capital funding.
