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 this project, 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.

In view of the large number of projects at various stages of architectural planning, it is not possible at this stage to say when construction will commence on the project referred to by the Deputy.
