I propose to take Questions Nos. 183 and 184 together.

My Department recently decided in order to meet future capacity needs across the area, that the school to which the Deputy refers should be replaced and expanded with a new 1,000 pupil school building. A new site will be required for the school and the Department will be liaising with KWETB with a view to the process for identifying a suitable site. The standard identification process includes identifying suitable sites already in public ownership. I can assure the Deputy that my Department will make every effort to progress the matter
