I propose to take Questions Nos. 327 and 342 together.

The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning.

Earlier this year I announced details of 124 schools to progress through the architectural planning process and among those listed was the building project for the school in question.

My Department's officials are currently reviewing the stage three submission, that is, the detailed plans and costs, and when this is complete will be in contact with the school authorities as to the next step involved in progressing this project.

Progression of projects to construction will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2005-2009.
