Question 220: To ask the Minister for Education and Science when he will allow a school (details supplied) in County Donegal to proceed to the next stage which is the tender stage for the necessary extension to the school; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the first application for the new school was made 11 years ago and that many obstacles have been put in the board of management's way over this time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 this project, from initial design stage through to construction will be considered on an on-going 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 progression of the project at this time.
