I can confirm to the Deputy that the school to which he refers applied for capital funding under the Department's Small Schools Scheme (SSS) for 2007. The school's application was unsuccessful due to competing priorities under the prioritisation criteria for the scheme. However, the school has appealed this outcome. It will be notified of the result of its appeal as soon as possible.

In the meantime, advancement of a project for the school under the traditional method of procurement continues to be considered under the Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
