As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which she refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the project brief is currently being prepared. This is part of the preparatory work required to facilitate the progression of the project into the architectural planning process and my Department will be in further contact with the school in this regard.
