Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that a site visit in respect of the schools in question was undertaken in December 2014. In the past week, my Departments technical staff revisited the schools to gather further information and the position is currently being considered. My Department will be in contact with the school authority concerned shortly to discuss the next steps in respect of the progression of the project.
