I wish to advise the Deputy that a major building project, to facilitate the amalgamation of the schools referred to, is included in my Department’s 6 year Construction Programme and is currently completing early architectural planning, Stage 2(a) – the Developed Design Stage. Following a successful completion of this stage, the project will proceed to Stage 2(b), Detailed Design, which includes the application for planning permission and other statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. The amalgamation process will be finalised in line with the delivery of the major building project
