663 Deputy Rory O’Hanlon asked the Minister for Education and Science when it is proposed to progress the provision of an extension to a school (details supplied) in County Cavan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28087/09]

The project to which the Deputy refers is currently at an early stage of Architectural Planning. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual school Building and modernisation Programme.

However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the further progression of this project at this time.
