My Department is not in receipt of a formal application from the school to which she refers for capital funding for PE facilities. The school has, however, been issued with the requisite documentation in this regard. When it is returned to the school planning section of my Department, the application will be assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects.

Progress on the application will then be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme from 2006 onwards.
