I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the advertisement seeking design team consultants for the proposed development project at the school in question was published on the public procurement portal, www.etenders.gov.ie, on Friday 16 June.

The closing date for receipt of expressions of interest from consultants is Wednesday 9 August and the selection process will be carried out by the Client, the Vocational Education Committee. Architectural planning of the project will begin immediately after the design team is formally appointed. Progression of this project to tender and construction will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
