I propose to take Questions Nos. 488 to 490, inclusive, together.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the project for the school to which he refers was included in my announcement in February 2009 of 43 projects to proceed to tender and construction in 2009.

The 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 e-tenders website on 7 May 2009 and short listing of contractors has commenced. The short listed contractors will subsequently be invited to tender for the project once the tender documentation has been finalised and approved.
