Before committing major capital funding to a project my Department must be satisfied that the school has a viable future. Relevant factors, including enrolment and demographic trends, are taken into account thereby ensuring value for money. When a number of issues are investigated a decision will be made on how best to provide for its long-term accommodation needs. My Department's officials are in contact with the school's authorities.

The proposed large scale building project for the school is listed in section 8 of the 2004 schools building programme. It is published on my Department's website at www.education.ie. The project is at stage 5, bill of quantities, of architectural planning and it was given a band 3 rating in accordance with the published criteria for prioritising large scale projects. My Department’s technical staff awaits a stage 5 submission from the school’s design team.
