The school to which the Deputy refers was allocated funding under the devolved initiative scheme in 2003 to provide for an extension and refurbishment to cater for its long-term needs. My Department has not received any further application for major capital funding from the school authorities.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 565 and 586 together.

An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension at the school has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy. The long-term accommodation needs of the school are being examined. When this is completed, the building project required to address the long-term accommodation needs of the school will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2006-10.
