My Department has cleared the Bills of Quantities stage for a project by County Wicklow Vocational Education Committee to provide a school of 350 pupils at Blessington. The next stage in my Department's design procedure is the invitation of tenders. However, as the rate of advancement of all projects in planning is dependent on the availability of capital resources and on my Department's priorities and commitments, I am not in a position at present to indicate when construction work will commence.
