I wish to advise the Deputy that a building project to provide an extension to the school in question is currently at Stage 2A of the architectural planning process. The Patron Body and their Design Team are finalising the Stage 2A report for presentation to my Department.

Upon completion of this presentation and submission of the report to my Department and subject to no issues arising, the project will be authorised to proceed to Stage 2B - Detailed Design Stage. This includes applications for Planning Permission, Fire Safety Certification, Disability Access Certification and the preparation of tender documents.

In relation to school projects that are currently within the Department's architectural planning proccess, but have not been included in the 5 Year Plan, as is the case with the school in question, these projects will continue to be progressed through architectural planning up to tender stage so that they will be well placed for progression in anticipation of further funds being available to the Department.
