The proposed refurbishment and extension project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning.

The project was approved to proceed to Stage 3 (Developed Sketch Scheme) of Architectural Planning in October 2006. Department officials will be in further contact with the school authorities when the Stage 3 documentation has been received.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that this project is one of 22 major post-primary school building projects that I announced yesterday to proceed to tender and construction over the next 12 to 15 months as soon as the architectural planning is completed.
