I propose to take Questions Nos. 145, 147 and 148 together.

The schools to which the Deputy refers have applied to my Department for large scale capital funding for the provision of ancillary accommodation. The development of building projects for these schools is at an early stage. The progression of all large scale building projects from the initial design stage through to the construction phase, including these projects, 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 Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of these projects at this time.

The school to which the Deputy refers applied to my Department for large scale capital funding for an extension project. The project had progressed to the advanced stages of architectural planning. However, due to a significant decline in enrolments, the accommodation brief has to be re-visited and revised.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase 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 Department's capital budget from higher Band rated projects, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
