The proposed project is currently at stage 3 of architectural planning. Following on from a review of a stage 3 submission, additional information was requested from the Design Team. A response to this has now been received, and officials in my Department are currently evaluating the documentation. 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. It is not possible at this stage to say when construction will commence on the project referred to by the Deputy.
