The project referred to by the Deputy has been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB).

The Design Team is currently progressing through Stage 1 of the architectural planning process, which involves developing options for both school buildings. DETB will submit a Stage 1 report to the Department once all viable options for the site have been assessed in full. Following a review and approval of stage 1, the project will progress through stages 2a, 2b, and Tender stage and on to construction in due course.

As this project is at an early stage in the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion. As the delivery body for the project, DETB will engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
