The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is listed in section 8 of the 2004 school building programme which is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. This project has a band 3 rating and is at stage 4-5, detail design-bill of quantities, of architectural planning. My Department’s officials are reviewing all projects that were not authorised to proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme, including this school, with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual school building programme from 2005. I expect to make a further announcement in this regard before the end of the year. Asbestos remediation works were carried out at this school during the summer as scheduled. The cost for the removal, including supervision, air monitoring and reinstatement works was €63,576.
