The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. It has a band 2 rating and is at stage 3, detailed plans-costs. This project was not authorised to proceed to tender and construction this year. My Department's officials recently wrote to the school authorities requesting additional information on their stage 3 submission and a response is awaited.
My Department's officials are currently reviewing all projects that were not authorised to proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme, including the project in question, with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual school building programme from 2005. I expect to make further announcements in this regard before the end of the year.
