The building project to which the Deputy refers to is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2(b) detailed design stage, which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.

The Design Team are currently completing the Stage 2(b) submission which the Board of Management will submit to my Department for review.  When the Stage 2(b) has been reviewed my Department will revert to the school at that time with a timeframe for the further progression of the project to tender stage.
