The school to which the Deputy refers has made an application for a new school building and the project has been assigned a Band 2 rating.
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 this project at this time.
In the meantime, it is open to the school authority to apply to my Department for temporary accommodation to meet its immediate accommodation needs.
