I propose to take Questions Nos. 759, 760, 761 and 762 together.
Architectural planning for the proposed new school for St. Anthony's special school, Castlebar, County Mayo, has commenced and my Department's architectural staff are currently preparing a sketch scheme. This will be furnished to the school management for approval shortly. The project will then progress through the remaining stages of the architectural planning progress. At this point, it is too early to confirm a timescale for tender invitation and construction.
