Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The extension project at the school to which the Deputy refers has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria and is being considered in the context of the schools building and modernisation programme. I recently announced details of 43 school projects which are being authorised to proceed to architectural planning immediately. I will make further announcements on projects which will progress on a phased basis into the architectural planning process in the next 12 to 15 months. The proposed project at the school referred to will be considered in this regard.
