Planning Permission for the School Building Project to which the Deputy refers was lodged with the Planning Authority in August. The Design Team who submitted Planning Application were advised of some minor errors within the application by the Local Authority and were requested to address these.

The Design Team have since re-lodged an amended planning permission application and this has been accepted by the Local Authority.

The project is included in my Department's five year building programme to proceed to Tender and Construction in 2015/16. Patronage of the new school was granted to the ETB and the intended start-date for the schools first intake of pupils is the commencement of the school year 2016/17.

The School Building Project to which the Deputy refers has recently been granted planning permission by the Planning Authority. The project is currently at tender stage and it is expected to commence on site before the end of this year with the intention that the building will be handed over to the school authorities before the new school year commencing September 2016.
