The building project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. My Department is currently awaiting a revised stage 2 report (outline sketch scheme) from the Design Team. When this information is received in my Department it will be evaluated by my Department's technical team.

The progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to construction phase, including this project, is considered on an on-going basis in the context of my Department's Multiannual School Building and Modernisation Programme. The Deputy can be assured that my Department will continue to ensure that building projects are delivered within the earliest possible timeframes.
