On 6 February last, the then Minister for Education and Science announced details of the Department's Capital Programme for 2010. It was not possible to include a project for the school to which the Deputy refers in that announcement.

The project will be considered for inclusion in subsequent Capital Programmes. However, in light of current competing demands on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
