The building project referred to by the Deputy is currently at an early stage of Architectural Planning.
The Design Team was appointed earlier this year and has commenced stage 1 (Preliminary Sketch Design) of the design process. My Department held a preliminary meeting with the Board of Management and its Design Team in May to expedite the progress of the project through Architectural Planning. Following this meeting my Department is awaiting the submission of stage 1 design works from the Board of Management and their Design team.
School building projects, including the one referred to by the Deputy, which have not been included in the five year construction programme, will continue to be progressed to final planning stages in anticipation of the possibility of further funds being available to the Department in future years.
