The works referred to by the Deputy come under the scope of the summer works scheme. While the school authority did not make an application under the 2004 scheme, it is open to it to apply under the scheme for 2005. I will be announcing details of the new scheme later this year.
With regard to the proposed large-scale building project for the school, this is listed in section 9 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website. The project is in early stages of architectural planning and will be progressed to the next stage of architectural planning this year.
When I published the 2004 school building programme I outlined that my strategy would be grounded in capital investment based on multi-annual allocations. My officials are reviewing all projects, which were not authorised to proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme, with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual school building programme from 2005 onwards. This approach will provide clarity as to when schools can expect their projects to be delivered. The proposed project for the school to which the Deputy refers will be included in this review. I expect to be in a position to make further announcements in this matter later this year.
