The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. A stage two submission has not yet been received. My Department's officials wrote to the school authorities in September 2005 advising them that they should now proceed to prepare and submit a stage two outline sketch scheme submission. The school authorities have advised that they expect to have the submission with my Department by the end of November 2005. As the board of management is the client for this project, responsibility for ensuring that this timeframe is maintained lies with it. Further progression of the project can be made when the submission is received.
