The school referred to by the Deputy applied for funding under the Small Schools Scheme 2007. Due to the volume of applications received in the Department it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects and the school was not successful in this instance.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 736, 740, 743 and 744 together.

I can confirm that my Department has received an application for development from each of the schools referred to by the Deputy. Each application has been assessed and assigned a Band 2 Rating in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building works.

Progress on the projects will be considered 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.
