I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the project at the school to which he refers was included in my recent announcement of 43 projects to proceed to tender and construction in 2009. The school's design team is currently finalising the tender documentation. A contract notice seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors was published on the State's etender website on 7th May 2009. The closing date for return of expressions of interest is at the end of this month. Until the project has been tendered and a contract put in place, it will not be possible to provide the other details requested by the Deputy.
