I am pleased to inform the Deputy that this project was one of 54 projects that I announced to proceed to tender and construction in November 2006. It is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning.

Additional Stage 3 information was requested from the Design Team and this has been received in my Department. Officials from my Department will be in further contact with the school authorities when this documentation has been examined.

Contracts for the purchase of a site for the school in question have been signed. While a few minor issues have still to be resolved, my Department expects that the purchase will close shortly. I have included the building project for this school in my published list of projects to enter architectural planning at an early stage.

My Department is close to the point of awarding a contract for the construction of the school building referred to by the Deputy. A letter of intent issued to the main contractor recently, requesting sight of his bond, Tax Clearance Certificate, CI Pension/Sick Pay Scheme and details of his Employer and Public Liability Insurances. Once all the documentation requested meets my Department's requirements a formal letter of acceptance will issue to the Contractor.

It is envisaged that construction on the new 16 classroom school will commence mid July.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I have given approval for the commencement of architectural planning for an extension at the school to which he refers.

A technical inspection was recently carried out to determine the suitability of the existing site to bring the school up to the agreed level of 16-classrooms. When the technical report is received and analysed, the project can be progressed further.

As a first step, a technical inspection will be carried out on the existing premises and site to determine their suitability for the project. This will be arranged shortly. When the resulting technical report is received and analysed, the project can progress further.
