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. Officials of my Department recently contacted the school's design team and the response to the issues raised is awaited.
My officials are nearing completion of a review of all projects that did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 schools building programme with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005. All projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria, agreed earlier this year with the education partners. Each project will be assigned a band rating and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the programme from 2005. Following the conclusion of the current Estimates and budgetary process, I intend to publish the 2005 building programme, which will operate in a multi-annual framework.
