The building project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning and has been approved to proceed to tender and construction as indicated in my announcement of 25 April 2006.

A Stage 3 submission was received in my Department in February 2007 and is currently being examined by my Department's Technical Staff. In due course a meeting will be arranged with the School Authorities and their Design Team in order to evaluate the documentation. Once the stage 3 is approved, the project will proceed to advanced design and subsequently to tender and construction.
