I propose to take Questions Nos. 559 and 612 together.
The Department is committed to putting a suitable accommodation solution in place for the school referred to by the Deputies for next September. This is being achieved by the placement of temporary accommodation on a site on the Oscar Traynor Road. To allow for any unforeseen difficulties with this measure, the Department has advised the school authority to extend its current lease on a short term basis.
Once the school's September needs have been addressed and the conveyancing procedures for the site have been completed, the Department will be moving to provide permanent accommodation on the site for the school. The Department has always een committed to providing a suitable accommodation solution for the school in question by September 2007. When it became clear that this would not be achievable by pursuing the amalgamation option, it was decided to pursue the alternative now being actioned.
