The project at the school to which the Deputy refers has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria, and the project is being considered in the context of the school buildings and modernisation programme. The Deputy will be aware that I have made a number of announcements with regard to the 2005 school building programme since the beginning of the year. Earlier this month I announced details of 43 school projects which are being authorised to proceed to architectural planning immediately. I will be making further announcements on projects which will progress, on a phased basis, into the architectural planning process in the next 12 to 15 months. The proposed project at the school referred to, will be considered in this regard.
