The project for the school referred to by the Deputy has been approved to progress to tender and construction and is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning.

A stage 2B submission has been received by my Department and is currently being considered. A contract notice seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified contractors has been published on the State's e-tenders website and short-listing of contractors has commenced.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that this project is progressing towards tender and construction.
