My Department is exploring the possibility of the relocation, on a temporary basis, of the school in question to an alternative site from the academic year beginning September 2009. The Department is liaising with the school, who are aware of the proposal.

The progression of all large scale building projects from initial design through to construction phase is considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual Building and Modernisation Programme. In light of the current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the completion of this project at this time.
