The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. In July of this year my Department's Officials wrote to North Tipperary VEC giving approval to proceed to Stage 2 (Outline Sketch Scheme) of architectural planning.
When the requested stage 2 is received in my Department, my Department's Officials will be in further contact with North Tipperary VEC as to the next steps involved in progressing this project.
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.
