A tender report for the project referred to by the Deputy is currently under examination by my Department. The contract for the project has not yet been awarded.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including 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.

It is not possible at this stage to say when construction will commence on the project referred to by the Deputy.
