Minister for Education and Skills

As previously outlined to the Deputy, my Department is seeking to ensure that Castlethorn Construction will honour the provisions of the original agreement with regard to the delivery of a community centre. Discussions with Castlethorn Construction are ongoing with a view to reaching an acceptable outcome.

Officials from my Department have recently reverted to representatives of Castlethorn Construction regarding a proposal to facilitate the delivery of the community centre and await their response.

I recently met with a delegation of parents from the school and will provide an update to them on the situation shortly.
