The project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of the architectural planning process. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, due to the level of demand on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe as to when the project can proceed at this time.

Tógfaigh mé Ceisteanna 1527 agus 1599 le chéile.

Cuireadh iarratas faoi bhráid na Roinne i 1999 ar chóiríocht bhreise a chur ar fáil ag an scoil dá dtagraíonn an Teachta. Áiríonn an sainchúram don tionscadal 4 rangsheomra atá ann cheana a athchóiriú mar 2 rangsheomra/cóiríocht choimhdeach agus 2 rangsheomra úra agus cóiríocht choimhdeach a chur ar fáil. Tá an tionscadal dá dtagraíonn an Teachta ag ardchéim pleanála ailtireachta faoi láthair. Tá cead pleanála faighte don tionscadal molta.

Machnófar ar bhonn leanúnach dul chun cinn gach uile tionscadal tógála ar scála mór, an tionscadal seo ina measc, ón túschéim dearaidh go dtí go mbíonn an tógáil déanta, i gcomhthéacs Chlár Tógala agus Athnuachain Scoile Ilbhliantúil mo Roinnse. I bhfianaise na n-éileamh iomaíocha ar bhuiséad caipitil mo Roinne, áfach, ní féidir creatlach ama táscach a chur in iúl do dhul chun cinn an tionscadail ag an am seo.
