I wish to inform the Deputy that an application for a new school building has been received from the school authority to which he refers. The school's application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria of my Department and the application has been assigned a band rating of 1.4.

The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of the current competing demands on the capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
