I wish to advise the Deputy that the project brief for a new 12 classroom school building to meet the long term accommodation needs of the school in question has been finalised. The next stage involves the commencement of the architectural planning process and the appointment of a design team to advance the project.

In the meantime, interim accommodation has been approved to meet the schools immediate accommodation needs.

A major application for a new school building has been received by my Department in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy. The current status of all projects on the school building programme, including the school referred to by the Deputy, may be viewed on my Department's website at www.education.ie which is updated regularly throughout the year.

Due to competing demands on my Department's capital budget, imposed by the need to prioritise funding available for the provision of essential additional classroom accommodation, it is not possible for my Department to provide an indicative timeframe for the progression of the major project in question at this time.
