Patronage of the new school, to which the Deputy refers, was granted to the Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board. The intended date for the school's first intake of pupils is the commencement of the school year 2016/17. The ETB, as Patron, will put the necessary management structures in place commensurate with this date. The Design Team on the Major Building Project has recently completed Stage 2a and has been authorised to progress to Stage 2b, which includes the application for planning permission and other statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. Following the completion of Stage 2b the project will then be authorised to proceed to tender and construction stages.

The project is included in my Department's five year building programme to proceed to Tender and Construction in 2015/16.
