I propose to take Questions Nos. 240, 241, 243 to 245, inclusive, and 269 together.

I can confirm to the Deputy that the Department is in receipt of applications for major capital funding from the management authorities of the schools to which he refers. The applications have been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale projects. Progress on the proposed works is being considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

As the Deputy will be aware, the project to provide a new building for the school to which he refers is one of 80 projects which I approved to commence architectural planning in 2007. Officials in the School Building Section will be in contact shortly with the school authority with regard to the appointment of a design team to commence architectural planning for this project.
