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, that is, 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 1 submission — site suitability, briefing and site report — during 2005. Most recently my Department's officials wrote to the school authorities with some further queries and a response has been received. This is being examined. When this analysis is complete my officials will be in further contact with the school authorities with regard to the next steps involved in progressing this project. Progression of projects to construction will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2006-09.
