An application for a new school building has been received from the school referred to by the Deputy and an assessment of the long term needs of the school has been concluded.

The commencement and progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to construction phase, including this project, 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 progression of the project at this time.
