The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. My Department has recently received a Stage 2 submission from the School's Design Team (Outline Sketch Scheme). My Department will shortly arrange a meeting with the School Authorities and the Design Team in order to evaluate the submission. It is envisaged that unless there are very exceptional circumstances involved, the meeting will be sufficient to authorise the project to progress to the next stage of architectural planning.

A decision on which school building projects will advance to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
