The Building project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at early stage of architectural planning. The School in question which, together with a Gaelscoil is going to be located on the grounds of the old Sundai School, has a proposed brief consisting of the refurbishment of the existing dormitory building plus the provision of 4 additional classrooms, a stand alone general purpose room plus all ancillary site works.

My Department are in receipt of a stage 3 submission (detailed design with costings). If necessary my Officials will arrange a meeting with the School Authorities and the Design Team on the project in order to evaluate the documentation and it is envisaged that unless there are very exceptional circumstances involved, the meeting will be sufficient to authorise the project to progress to tender and construction as per my announcement of the 29th November last.
