My Department is in receipt of an application for additional accommodation from the school to which the Deputy refers. The application will be considered in the context of a review which is being undertaken of all projects that did not proceed as part of the 2004 school building programme with a view to including it in a multi-annual school building programme from 2005, details of which will be announced later this year.

The school authority also made an application to my Department for grant-aid for fencing. The scope of the works required are appropriate for consideration under the summer works scheme, SWS. It is planned to invite applications under the 2005 SWS later this year. It will be open to the school to make an application for the required works under the new scheme.
