The Major Building Project for the school referred to by the Deputy, is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning - Stage 2b Detailed Design, which includes obtaining the necessary statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents.
A planning application was lodged in October 2015 and the Design Team have recently submitted the necessary information to the Local Authority regarding a Request for Further Information by the Local Authority.
Both the major project and temporary accommodation will form part of the same tender.
This project is included in the 6 year construction programme 2016 -2021 to proceed to tender and construction. The design team will submit the stage 2(b) report to my Department when it is completed and my Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report.
