A revised technical submission for the project to which the Deputy refers is currently being examined by my Department's technical staff.

The progression of all large-scale building projects from initial design stage through to construction phase is considered on an on-going basis in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

The particular emphasis in 2008 is on providing sufficient school places in developing areas, while also showing the Government's commitment to delivering improvements in the quality of existing primary and post-primary school accommodation throughout the country.

The progression of all school building projects, including the one in question, will be considered in this context.
