The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers was included in my announcement on 12 February of 43 major building projects to proceed to tender and construction during 2009.

Representatives from the board of management of the school and the design team subsequently attended a briefing in my Department's offices in Tullamore at which they were appraised of the next steps necessary to progress the project to tender and construction.

A Stage 2(a) submission was approved by my Department in March 2009. The Design Team are currently working on a Stage 2(b) submission which, when completed, will be submitted to my Department. Following receipt and approval of the Stage 2(b) submission my Department will revert to the school regarding next steps in the progression of the project towards tender and construction.
