The project to which the Deputy refers is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The progression of all large scale building projects, including the project referred to by the Deputy, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be 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.
