Question 469: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the progress regarding a school (details supplied) in County Monaghan; her views on whether it is an urgent matter where children and staff have to use the national primary route as part of their campus and that it is a miracle that a serious accident has been avoided; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy was one of a number of schools I announced in 2006 to commence architectural planning. A Planning and Development meeting between officials from my Department, the school authorities and their Design Team was held last month to evaluate the Stage 2 submission for this project. On foot of this meeting additional Stage 2 information was requested from the Design Team. Officials from my Department will be in further contact with the school authorities on receipt of this documentation. Progression of the project to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation programme.
