I wish to advise the Deputy that architectural planning to provide a new replacement school in the area in question has commenced. My Department met with the school and its Design Team last November and is awaiting submission of an addendum report by the Board of Management to address several design issues. Upon satisfactory completion of this report and subject to no issues arising, the project will be authorised to proceed to developed design stage.

As the Deputy will also be aware, the school project in question is one of a number of school projects which it was not possible to include in the 5 Year construction programme. However the school project concerned is being progressed to the final planning stages so that it will be well placed for further progression in anticipation of further funds being available to the Department.
