My Department is in receipt of an application from the school to which the Deputy refers for the refurbishment and redevelopment of its sports complex. The project has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and has been assigned a band 4 rating. The progression of all large scale building projects, including the project in question, will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time. The school authority is aware of this position from contacts with it by my Department.
