The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. In January 2011 my Department authorised this project to complete Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design. Subsequently, a request for additional fees was received from the design team. The initial fee was considered excessive by my Department and a revised fee proposal was sought. The revised fee proposal is currently being considered by my Department and when this consideration is complete my officials will revert to the Board of Management regarding next steps.
Upon completion of stage 2b the Design Team will submit same to the Department and thereafter, assuming no further issues arise, my Department will be in contact with the Board of Management with regard to progressing the project to tender and construction stages.
