An application for an extension and refurbishment has been received from the management authorities of the school to which the Deputy refers.

The Deputy will be aware that I have made a number of announcements relating to the 2005 school building programme which included 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 extension and refurbishment project for the school referred to will be considered in this regard.
