The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is currently in the early stages of the architectural planning process. In this regard, a Stage 2(a) submission was recently approved by my Department and the Design Team has been requested to prepare a Stage 2(b) submission (detailed design).

Once the Stage 2(b) submission has been received and approved, the further progression of this project, in common with all large scale capital projects, will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
