The building project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. This School was among 40 Schools that I announced in April of this year to go to tender and construction on a rolling basis over the next 12 to 15 months.

My Department's Officials wrote to the School Authorities on the 22nd September 2006 seeking a revised stage 1/2/3 (detailed plans / costs) submission. This revised stage 1/2/3 submission has been received in my Department and when it is has been reviewed my Department's Officials will be in further contact with the School Authorities as to the next steps involved in progressing this project.
