I can confirm to the Deputy that an application has been received from the school to which he refers for large scale capital funding. The development of the proposed project is at an advanced stage. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the further progression of the project at this time.
