The delivery of a replacement 20-classroom school plus Special Needs Unit for the school referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to the school authority. Galway/Roscommon Education & Training Board has agreed to provide assistance to the school in progressing the project.

In August 2014, approval was given by my Department to proceed with Phase 1 of this 2-phase project. Phase 1 will comprise 7 mainstream classrooms, Special Education Tuition Room and 1 Classroom Special Needs Unit plus ancillary accommodation.

I am informed that a Design Team is currently being appointed following a competitive tender process.
