The project to which the Deputy refers is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. Planning permission for the proposed project has been received.

A report from a local Electrical Contractor outlining issues relating to the electrics in the current school building has recently been received by my Department and a response has issued to the school authorities regarding this.

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