The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an early stage of architectural planning. In February, I announced details of 43 major building projects to proceed to tender and construction and 25 high priority projects to commence architectural planning. The Deputy will understand that it is not possible to advance all projects at the same time. It was not possible to include the project for this school in the February announcement. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be progressed further in 2009.
The proposed building project for the school will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme for 2010 and subsequent years.

I am happy to inform the Deputy that the project for this school was included in my February announcement of projects to commence architectural planning in 2009. The brief formulation for this project is nearing completion and my Department will shortly be in touch with the school authority regarding the appointment of a design team.
