On 7 February 1985 my Department sanctioned a grant towards the cost of an extension to the school referred to by the Deputy. The preparation of contract documents is well advanced and it is expected that they will be completed about the end of next month. The question of invitation of tenders will then be considered and the outcome conveyed to the school authorities at the earliest possible date. I am not in a position to say when building works may commence.
It is not the practice to divulge the financial details in relation to a project as this is a confidential matter between my Department and the school authorities.
