The large scale project at the school to which the Deputy refers has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria, which were revised following consultation with the education partners and will be considered under the 2005 school building programme. The school has also made an application for funding under the summer works scheme 2005 (SWS). Applications under this scheme are currently being assessed in my Department. The Deputy will be aware that I recently announced the first phase of the 2005 school building programme which provided details of 122 major school building projects country wide which will prepare tenders and move to construction during 2005.

This announcement is the first in a series of announcements I plan to make in the coming period in relation to the schools building and modernisation programme that will include details of schools identified as suitable for construction under public private partnerships; an expansion of the number of schools that will be invited to deliver their building projects on the basis of devolved funding; details of schools with projects approved under the 2005 summer works scheme; schools whose projects will further progress through the design process and schools that will be authorised to commence architectural planning.

In 2003 a grant of €250,000 was sanctioned to enable the management authorities of the school in question to provide additional accommodation.

The plans for the additional accommodation were appealed by a third party to An Bord Pleanála but planning permission was recently granted for the project. The board of management now needs to arrange for tenders to be obtained. Construction is expected to commence later this year.
