The building project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. This School was among 40 Schools that I announced in April of this year to go to tender and construction on a rolling basis over the next 12 to 15 months. My Department's Officials wrote to the School Authorities on the 22nd September 2006 looking for a revised stage 1/2/3 (detailed plans/costs) submission. When a response is forwarded to my Department, my Officials will then be in a position to further progress this project.
