Tá an-dul chun cinn déanta againn go dtí an pointe seo. Tá dea-scéal againn ó thaobh Choláiste Ghobnatan inniu. Tá céimeanna eile ann anois.

There are a number of next steps. The first and perhaps most important step has now been taken in that it has progressed to stage 2B, and that has been sanctioned. The next step will be for Cork ETB and its design team to obtain the requisite statutory planning approvals and to incorporate them into the detailed design and tender documentation for the new school project.

The Department will be very happy to work and liaise with Cork ETB to support and monitor progress of the project. Cork ETB in turn will also engage with the school community to keep it updated on all significant developments. That is hugely important because there is extraordinary buy-in, in both the immediate school community and the wider community, when they see developments for schools going forward. This is a very positive, good news story for Coláiste Ghobnatan, and I look forward to it moving ahead from all these demands as quickly as possible.
