The project to which the Deputy refers is to provide a new 16 classroom school building and is at architectural planning. Officials from my Department have received a revised Stage 2A submission, i.e. Developed Sketch Scheme. The Department is currently reviewing the submission.

The progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to tender and construction, including this project, will be considered on an on-going basis in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

A stage 2A submission (Developed Sketch Design) has been received by my Department from the school referred to by the Deputy. However, further information has been requested from the Design Team to facilitate a full review of the submission.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, 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 this project at this time.
