An application for an extension has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy.

The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria and is being considered for progression in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006 — 2010.

The sale of the west campus by the school authority is understood by my Department to be contingent on the completion of the proposed extension and its disposal will be considered when the planned extension is completed.
