I propose to take Questions Nos. 1255 to 1257, inclusive, and 1274 together.

The project to which the Deputies refer is at an early stage of Architectural Planning. A stage 2A submission (Developed Sketch Scheme) has recently been received in my Department and is currently under consideration. The major project, which includes the provision of an enhanced community facility in conjunction with Fingal County Council, will address each of the issues raised by the Deputies.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current 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.
