The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The Department is in receipt of the Stage 2(b) submission from the Design Team.

Following a review of the submission the Design Team were requested to review significant cost overruns. This work included the carrying out of additional site surveys.

An addendum to the report was recently received from the Design Team and is under review by my Department. Once this review is complete my Department will be in contact with the Design Team and the school authority regarding the further progression of the project.
