As the Deputy may be aware, I announced in January 2009 that the project for the school in question was to proceed to re-tender and construction. The Stage 2B (Detailed Design) submission was received by my Department from the school on the 15th of June and is currently being examined. My officials will revert to the school authorities as soon as possible regarding further progress.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 517 and 518 together.

Officials from the National Development Agency and Technical Advisors appointed for the procurement of the 3rd Bundle of schools to be delivered via Public Private Partnership met with planning officials from Wexford County Council to discuss the provision of a new post primary school on the Gorey site earlier this month. Work on the preparation of the outline planning application is ongoing within my Department and it is intended that the application will be submitted as soon as possible.
