The building project for the school in question, which is currently at an early stage of architectural planning, will take place on the existing site. As I have previously informed the Deputy in response to a recent Parliamentary Question in this matter, the progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase 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.
