A building project for the school referred to by the Deputy has recently been included in the 1995 National Schools Capital Programme and subject to the acquisition of a suitable site, the project will be progressed as quickly as possible through the various planning and construction stages. A decision on the timing of the tender/contract process will be made in due course in the light of resources and competing priorities.
As the project is at the initial stages of architectural planning it is not yet possible to provide precise details of the total cost of the project or the amount of grant-aid as requested by the Deputy.
