My Department has received applications for major capital funding from the schools to which the Deputy refers. The commencement and progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to construction phase, including these projects, will be considered on an ongoing basis 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.
