The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently awaiting the commencement of architectural planning. The brief for the project has been approved and the next step will be the tender process for the appointment of a design team to take the project through the stages of architectural planning. School building projects currently in or commencing architectural planning, including the project referred to by the Deputy, will continue to be advanced incrementally over time within the context of the funding available. However, in light of current competing demands on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to indicate, at this time, the timeframe for the progression this project to construction stage.
