My Department previously met with County Dublin Vocational Committee to discuss the matter of a site for the school and County Dublin VEC have agreed to dispose of the site adjacent to the existing school site to the Department under the terms of a 99 year lease.

The Department has recently received the legal documents in question from the VEC and has instructed the CSSO to progress the matter. In light of current and competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.

Information on the current school building programme and on applications on hand for major capital works is available on my Department's web-site at www.education.ie. The following tabular statement provides the additional information for schools in South Tipperary requested by the Deputy.

Every application for major capital works is initially given a provisional priority band rating. A definitive band rating is assigned to a project when it is being considered for commencement of architectural planning. The value of each application will only be known on receipt of tenders for the specific project.
