Yes. We have had assurances around the EA supporting the school, but, as I said in my response, it is not a satisfactory arrangement. The cause is the lack of investment in routine maintenance across our school estate. Unfortunately, it is not the only school in which that has happened: another school in Londonderry has had roofing issues, and temporary accommodation has been provided in a neighbouring school setting while it carries out significant restructuring. It is regrettable that the school in East Antrim has found itself in that position. I assure the Member that the EA is doing all that it can to put in place the appropriate provision, but that is suboptimal.
