My Department has received an application for major capital funding for the school to which the Deputy refers. The school in question has not been selected for designation as a developing area school. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage to construction phase will be considered in 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 progression of these projects at this time.
