To ask the Minister of Education whether he will increase the priority level applied to the minor works project to deliver a multi-purpose hall for St Francis' Primary, Drumaroad, to reflect that the modular unit housing the dining facility may need replaced.

The minor works scheme at St Francis’ Primary School is currently considered a Priority Three scheme i.e. curriculum based minor works scheme.

Given the design work, vesting of land and planning approval required for this project, it is being progressed to pre-tender stage. These stages would be required regardless of the prioritisation of the scheme. A decision to release to tender will be taken based on the prioritisation and the budget available at that time.
