The proposed building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning.

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.

My Department has been engaged with the school's Patron and his advisers in relation to this project. I am advised that an issue has arisen regarding the ownership of the site for the new school in question and my Department is currently awaiting confirmation that there is good and marketable title to the property.
