Following consideration of the request from the management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy, my officials have advised the Board that it is not considered that a revision of the band rating is warranted in this case.

The Property Management Section of the OPW, which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisitions generally, is engaged in sourcing a site for the school in question. When a site has been acquired, the building project required to deliver the new school will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
