The proposed refurbishment and extension project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. My Department recently completed a review of the long term projected enrolment in the school. The Board of Management of the school are currently finalising the appointment of a Mechanical and Electrical Consultant. When this appointment is made my Department will be in contact with the school authorities regarding further progression of their project.

Further progression of the project will be considered in the context of the Schools Building and Modernisation Programme 2007-2013. Over €4.8 billion will be provided for school building infrastructure under the new NDP 2007-2013.
