I propose to take Questions Nos. 211 to 213, inclusive, together.

The school planning section of my Department is in receipt of an application for major capital investment from the school to which the Deputy refers. The application has been assessed in accordance with the amended prioritisation criteria for large scale projects which were revised following consultation with the education partners last year. Progress on the application is being considered in the context of the school building programme from 2005 onwards.
