The final grant of planning permission, for the school referred to by the Deputy, issued from Cork County Council on 27/05/2010.

The progression of this project is dependent upon the completion of the transfer (to the Cork Diocesan Trustees) of the two parcels of land which are currently in the ownership of Cork County Council and a private land owner.

In relation to the appointment of a building contractor, a letter of intent issued to the preferred bidder recently. Once the preferred bidder has satisfied the required terms and conditions and submitted the necessary documentation to the Department, assuming no issues arise and the land transfer has been completed, the contracts will be signed and the project can progress to construction.
