The school referred to by the Deputy is not considered to be in a rapidly developing area. However, this does not preclude it from being selected as such in the future if demographic trends in the area warrant it. 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 further progression of the project at this time.
