I can confirm that an application for a PE Hall of 630m2 at the school referred to by the Deputy has reached the advanced stages of architectural planning. The project is being co-funded by my own Department and the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.

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