I propose to take Questions Nos. 501 and 549 together.

An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been assessed and the long term projected staffing, on which the accommodation needs will be based, has recently been determined and notified to the school authority. In order to determine how best to provide for the school's accommodation needs into the future, it will be necessary to have a technical assessment of the existing buildings carried out. Once the technical assessment is completed, the building project required to deliver the extension will be progressed in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
