I wish to advise the Deputy that my officials have signed contracts for the site in question. The contracts are conditional on my Department obtaining a final grant of Planning Permission. My Department recently published the newspaper advertisement necessary to precede a planning application and submitted the planning application to the Local Authority.

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 the school building and modernisation programme. However, in view of the level of demand on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
