The major building project at the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. The Design Team are currently working on finalising the Stage 2(a) Submission (Developed Sketch Scheme) which will then be forwarded to my Department for review. Thereafter, officials from my Department will be in contact with the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project.

The Department will shortly publish an outline five year programme on the projects to be constructed in that time. The school building projects currently in architectural planning, including the project at the school referred to by the Deputy, will be considered in the context of that programme taking into account the funding available, the building costs involved and the progression of other major projects required to meet demographic needs.
