Progress on the project will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme from 2006 onwards.

The new eight classroom building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. Earlier this year I announced details of 124 schools to progress through the architectural planning process and among those listed was the building project for the school in question.
My Department's officials wrote to the school authorities on the 28 October 2005 giving approval to proceed to stage 3 — detailed plans-costs — of architectural planning. Pending receipt in the Department of the stage 3 submission from the school authorities, no further progression can be made on this project. Progression of projects to construction will be considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-09.
