The PE Hall project at the school referred to is part of an extension/refurbishment application from the school and has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria put in place following consultation with the Education Partners. Further progression of the proposed project will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.

My Department is committed to funding the provision of PE Halls, general purpose and outdoor play areas in schools as part of the school building and modernization programme. This is being addressed in the context of available resources and the published criteria for prioritising school building projects.
