Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The letter to the principal is correct. I confirm that for the Deputy. The school has band one status. It is located in a rapidly developing area. Band one status is the highest rating a school can get within the building programme. Approximately €600 million will be available for the school building programme next year and the school's band one status gives it a very high priority. Progression of the project will take place in the context of the next multi-annual building programme.
