I am pleased to be able to inform the Deputy that tenders in excess of €9 million have been accepted for a major refurbishment and extension programme at Ballymun comprehensive schools to enable the planned amalgamation take place. The contractor went on site on 24 January last and I am confident that the amalgamation will proceed, as intended, on 1 September 2005.
