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 2005 as a project to progress through architectural planning up to pre-tender stage, i.e. up to and including advanced architectural planning.
To bring this project to the required stage, my Department's officials have requested and received various amendments to the stage 3 submission, detailed plans and costs, during 2005. Most recently, my Department's officials wrote to the school authorities on 21 September 2005 with some further queries, and a response has been received. This will be examined as soon as possible, and my officials will then be in further contact with the school authorities with regard to the next steps involved in advancing the project.
Progression of projects to construction will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2005-2009.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the extension project at the Maynooth post-primary school started on site in December 2005, with a contract period of 15 months. It is expected that the project will be completed early in 2007.
