As the Deputy will be aware, a building project for the school to which he refers is currently being progressed within my Department's architectural planning process.
Planning Permission for the project was granted by Donegal County Council prior to the appointment of the design team. Following appointment, the Design Team was authorised to advance directly to Stage 2a Developed Design. The school's Design Team are currently working on updating site surveys and investigations in accordance with planning conditions in preparation for the Project Stage 2a Stakeholder Meeting with my Department. Arrangements for this meeting, which will include the school, will be made following receipt of confirmation from the school and Design Team that the Stage 2a material is ready. Following this meeting and subject to no issues arising, the project will be progressed to the final stages of architectural planning and will then be well placed for consideration for inclusion in future construction programmes.
