Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse believes it needs to be higher on the education minister's list of priorities:

In response the Department of Education, Sport and Culture said: 'The safeguarding and wellbeing of all of our children, young people and staff is of paramount importance.

'The department is currently in the process of completing a full strategic infrastructure review of all its estates.

'Once this work is completed, we will be in a position to determine a clear way forward.

'However interim measures are being considered until this review is completed.'
