In May 2006, I authorised the PE Hall project for Castleknock Community College to progress through architectural planning and on to tender and construction as soon as all stages of the planning process are complete.

The building project for the project in question is at an early stage of architectural planning. My Department recently received the Design Team's response to queries raised by my Department's technical team following a review of the Stage 1 submission (Site suitability, briefing and site report).

Officials from my Department will shortly arrange a meeting with the School Authorities and the Design Team in order to evaluate the responses received from the Design Team. It is envisaged that unless there are very exceptional circumstances involved, the meeting will be sufficient to authorise the project to progress to the next stage of architectural planning.
