The total amount spent on temporary accommodation from 1999 to the end of 2006 is €551,303. The breakdown of costs per year is outlined in the following table.

There is currently a permanent School Building project at an early stage of architectural planning at the school referred to by the Deputy. My Department has recently received a revised Stage 1/2 submission which is currently being examined. If the revised submission is approved, the project will be authorised to progress to the next stage of architectural planning.

Progression of the project to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
