The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently completing the advanced stage of Architectural Planning, Stage 2b – Detailed Design, which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of Tender Documents. All relevant statutory approvals have been obtained. The Design Team are currently preparing the Stage 2b (Detailed Design) tender documents for submission to the Department for review and approval. Assuming no issues arise in the review of the stage 2(b) submission the project will then be authorised to proceed to tender with a view to commencing construction later this year.
