The Deputy will be aware that an architectural design competition was announced in June 2014 to develop a primary school building at Harcourt Terrace. The submission deadline for shortlisted entrants for the second stage of the design competition, organised on behalf of the Department by the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland, is 17th July. It is expected that the winner of the design competition for a 24 classroom school with special needs unit will be announced in early autumn.

In due course, my Department will run an open patronage determination process to determine who will operate the school. It will be open to all patrons and prospective patrons to apply under this process.

The delivery of a new 16 classroom school building for Griffith Barracks Multi-Denominational School has been devolved to the Office of Public Works (OPW).

At the end of June, approval was given to the OPW to proceed to tender for the new school building. The outcome of the tender process will determine when works will commence on site.
