The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The school in question was listed in my announcement of April 2005 as a project to progress through the architectural planning process.

My Department's officials are in receipt of a stage 4-5 submission, planning permission — fire certification and bill of quantities — tender documentation, and this will be examined in due course. Should my Department require any additional information on the received submission, my officials will contact the school authorities.

I am anxious to ensure that a consistent flow of projects to tender and construction can be sustained into the future. A decision on which school building projects will advance to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2006-09.
