I am pleased to advise the Deputy that a Major Capital Project in respect of the school to which he refers is being progressed into the architectural planning process. The proposed project will include the complete replacement of prefabs with permanent classrooms in addition to a significantly enhanced level of permanent specialist and ancillary accommodation. As the proposed works have not proceeded to the tender and construction stage, it is not possible to provide information on the level of grant aid applicable.

The school in question is one of a number of schools which it was not possible to include in the 5 Year construction programme. However the school project will be progressed to the final planning stages so that it will be well placed for consideration in the context of future construction programmes.
