The proposed extension/refurbishment project at the school to which the Deputy refers is at an early stage of architectural planning.

The progression of all large-scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction, is dependent on the prioritisation of competing demands on the funding available under the Department's capital budget. The project will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme. In the meantime, my Department has received an application for emergency works from the school. This application is being assessed and the school will be notified of the outcome in due course.
