The project has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building 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 probably be aware, under the N4/M4 Area Development Plan published by the Commission on School Accommodation, it is recommended that the school to which she refers be re-located to a greenfield site.

The Department is in the process of progressing the issue of the transfer of a site to enable this development.

Thereafter, progress on the building project itself will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

As the Deputy will probably be aware, under the Area Development Plan for the N4/M4 corridor published by the Commission on School accommodation, provision of a new post primary school for Kinnegad post 2011 is recommended.

Westmeath County Council has been made aware of this requirement for the purposes of reserving a site to enable this development.

Thereafter, progress on the building project itself will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
