The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. My Department has recently received a Stage 2/3 (sketch scheme) addendum and it is currently being reviewed. Officials in my Department will be in further contact with the Design Team on completion of this review. Progression of all projects to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
