The major building project, for the school referred to by the deputy, is at an early stage of Architectural Planning Stage 2a which is the developed Sketch Design Stage. 

The Design Team and Board of Management are currently finalising the stage 2a report for submission to my Department for review.  Upon successful completion of stage 2a the project will be authorised to progress to Stage 2b which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. 

Until Stage 2b is complete it will not be possible to give an indication of the timeframe for the tender and construction stages.
