The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. However, owing to a decline in enrolment trends and the level of investment which would be required to facilitate a relatively small number of pupils, it was decided not to allow the proposed building project to progress through architectural planning until a complete review of the long-term viability of the school had been carried out. That is currently under way in the school planning section of my Department.
