The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at an early stage of architectural planning. A stage 1 submission was recently received from the design team and is currently being reviewed by my Department. When that review is complete my Department will revert to the VEC regarding the further progression of the project.

The estimated capital cost of the 40 new schools to be established in the next 6 years is in the region of €380m, of which the estimated building cost is approximately €272m. On this basis, the estimated funding will create in the region of 2,720 direct and 544 indirect construction related jobs in the economy. In relation to the operation of the schools, the staffing requirements will be determined on the basis of pupil enrolments in individual schools.
