The school referred to by the Deputy applied for temporary accommodation for September 2005 and I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school's application was successful.

The school planning section of my Department has also received an application for major capital funding from the school's management authority. The proposed building project at the school 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. I recently announced details of 43 school projects which are being authorised to proceed to architectural planning immediately. I will make further announcements on projects which will progress, on a phased basis, into the architectural planning process.
