The proposed refurbishment and extension project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. Additional Stage 2 (Sketch Scheme) documentation was requested from the school authorities and has been received. The documentation is currently being examined by the Technical Staff in my Department.

Department officials will be in contact with the school authorities in early November regarding the outcome of this examination. 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.
