A project to provide for a major extension/refurbishment to the school to which the Deputy refers to is at the early stages of architectural planning. A Design Team has been appointed.

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

In light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of this project at this time.
