I propose to take Questions Nos. 364 to 366, inclusive, together.

The project for the school to which the Deputy refers was included in my announcement in February 2009 of projects to proceed to tender and construction.

A stage 2B submission has been received by my Department and is currently being considered. A contract notice seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors has been published on the State's e-tenders website and short-listing of contractors has commenced. However, until the tender process is complete and a contract is put in place it will not be possible to give a definitive date for commencement of construction.
