Ms Hanafin Ms Hanafin

  Ms Hanafin: On 20 April 2005, I outlined details of 124 capital projects that are being authorised to progress through the architectural planning process, including the project for the school referred to by the Deputy. The projects allowed to progress through the planning process have been assessed as priority projects. They are in areas where demand for school places is increasing or where current facilities are considered inadequate to cater for existing needs.

The school planning section in my Department is carrying out an assessment of the future accommodation needs of the school in question, including projected enrolments. When this analysis is complete, my Department will be in further contact with the school authorities.
