The provision of PE Halls at post-primary level is considered an integral part of the design stage for any major refurbishment programme of existing school buildings. All applications received in the Department are banded in accordance with the prioritisation criteria put in place following consultation with the Education partners. The PE Hall project at the school referred to by the Deputy has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria, and the project is being considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
