With regard to the matters which have impacted the handover of the building referred to by the Deputy, my Department is taking appropriate steps to ensure that it is completely satisfied that the building is fit for handover prior to accepting it. There is currently an engagement underway between my Department and the Contractor in this regard under the contract. While this process is underway my Department will not be making any further comment.
The immediate focus in recent weeks has been to put in place appropriate contingency arrangements for the start of the 2020 school year for both schools. These arrangements are now in place.
