The positioning of school projects on the new 6 Year Programme, in terms of year to commence construction, is informed by the anticipated progress that each project will make as it progresses through the various stages of the architectural planning process. All projects will however continue to be progressed with a view to proceeding to tender and construction stages at the earliest possible opportunity.

My Department will be in communication with schools in the Programme, including the school referred to by the Deputy, in relation to the next steps to be taken as the projects progress through the various stages of the architectural planning process.
