The project to which the Deputy refers is included in my Departments 6 Year Construction Programme 2016-21.

The school and its design team submitted their Stage 2(b) report for this major building project to my Department late last week and the submission is currently under review. Following receipt of that submission my Department has authorised the Board of Management to instruct their Design Team to commence the pre-qualification process for the assessment of suitably qualified contractors to which the project can be tendered.

On completion of the review of the stage 2(b) submission my Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression to tender and construction stages at that time.
