To ask the Minister of Education what progress has been made on a new and permanent building for Corran Integrated Primary School, Larne following his announcement on 22 January 2013.

Corran Integrated Primary School was included in my capital investment statement of 22 January 2013 as one of 22 primary and post-primary schools which will be advanced in planning.

The project is still at an early stage of the planning process and my officials are currently considering all options regarding the appointment of consultants for those projects included in the January 2013 announcement.

Until this work has been concluded and outcomes agreed no further planning on the Corran Integrated Primary School project can proceed. It is hoped that this matter will be resolved shortly. Officials will engage with the school authorities in the coming weeks to advance the appointment of the required professional consultants.
