My Department's website is due to receive a major hardware upgrade and I have asked my officials to examine ways in which the upgraded website can be used to communicate information on the school building programme when this work has been completed.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 501 and 502 together.

My Department has already made a significant contribution to the accommodation needs of the town referred to by the Deputy with the provision of a new 8-classroom building, due for completion at the end of October.

An application for grant aid for major capital works was received from the school to which the Deputy refers on 1st May 2007.

Future school accommodation needs in the town in question from 2009 onwards will be considered in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
