The school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for large scale capital funding for an extension and refurbishment project.

The project was announced for the appointment of a Design Team in April 2007. Unfortunately, the funding has not been available to date to enable this. The project will be considered for progression in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of the demand on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
