There are a number of issues that remain to be clarified including the specific rationale and function of the centre as well as building and related technical requirements. This necessarily involves other bodies such as An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta and Gaelscolaíochta and the Department for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. As regards work on the building, when a decision is made on the most appropriate delivery method for this project, it will be progressed in the context of the school building programme 2005-09. I hope to make progress on these issues as quickly as possible.
