The major building project to provide permanent accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy is in architectural planning. The Design Team are currently finalising the Stage 2A report for presentation to my Department at the Stage 2A stakeholders meeting. A date for this meeting is being agreed between my Department, the Boards of Management and their Design Team.

Following that meeting, and subject to no issues arising, the project should then be authorised to progress to Stage 2B - Detailed Design, which includes the application for statutory approvals (including Planning Permission) and the preparation of tender documents.

Until Planning Permission and the other statutory approvals have been secured it will not be possible to give an indicative date for progression to tender and construction stages.
