The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. The school in question was listed in my announcement of April this year as a project to progress through architectural planning up to pre-tender stage that is, up to and including advanced architectural planning. My Department's officials are in the process of examining a recently received stage 2 submission — developed sketch scheme — and when this examination is completed will be in contact with the school authorities with regard to the next steps involved in progressing this building project. Progression of projects to construction will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-09.
