The project to which the Deputy refers is at an early stage of architectural planning. The schedule of accommodation has been revised to include an autistic spectrum disorder unit. The revised schedule has been forwarded to the board of management and the design team. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction is dependent on the prioritisation of competing demands on the funding available under the Department's capital budget. The proposed building project will be considered in the context of the Department's multi-annual school building and modernisation programme for 2010 and subsequent years. 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 delivery of the project at this time.
