I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a Design Team has now been appointed for the school in question and the process of architectural planning has commenced. When the architectural planning process is completed, the progression of the project to tender and construction will be considered in the context of my Department's 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.
