I apologise on behalf of the Minister, Deputy McHugh, who unfortunately had to be somewhere else.

I thank the Deputy for raising this matter as it provides me with the opportunity to outline to the Dáil the current position regarding the major building project for St. Paul's secondary school, Monasterevin. This project is included in the Department of Education and Skills' construction programme, which is being delivered under the national development plan. The project brief is for a new-build 850-pupil post-primary school on a greenfield site. The major building project for this school is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, namely, stage 2(b) - detailed design. This stage includes the applications for planning permission, a fire certificate and a disability certificate and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.

Has Deputy O'Loughlin received a copy of the reply?
