The development of a building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. In light of current competing demands on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the further progression of the project at this time. However, the school has recently been allocated an all-in grant for the provision of an additional classroom to meet current needs.
