The school to which the Deputy refers opened with provisional recognition from the Department in September 2005. During the period of provisional recognition, it is the responsibility of the school patron to provide interim accommodation. This accommodation must be capable of fully meeting the needs of the developing school until permanent recognition has been secured and the Department is in a position to acquire a site and provide a permanent school building.
However, in this particular case, the patron has indicated that it is his intention to provide the site for the permanent school building. When the site has been acquired, progress on the building project will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme from 2006 onwards.
