The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included on the 6 Year Construction Programme announced last November. It is envisaged that the project will proceed to tender / construction in 2018 as outlined in the programme.

In order to progress the project, my Department requires certain information from the school including architectural drawings, site map etc. which was requested from the school earlier this year and again last month. I understand that the school is assembling the information. When this is received and considered, the matter can be progressed further.

As the Deputy is aware, the project for the school referred to, is included in the 6 Year Construction Programme that was announced on 17th November last.

My Department has been in contact with the school authorities recently regarding the next steps to be taken to progress the school project into the architectural planning process. I wish to assure the Deputy that my Department is committed to progressing the project as expeditiously as possible.
