A site has been identified for the proposed new 16 classroom school referred to by the Deputy. My Department made an offer for this site in November 2008, based on an independent valuation, and a response is awaited. Once the site issues have been resolved, the further progression of the building project in question will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
