The major building project for St Patrick’s Special School Enniscorthy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b), which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate and the preparation of Tender Documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.

The Stage 2(b) (Detailed Design) documents are currently been finalised by the design team for submission to my Department. Once the submission is received and reviewed by my Department my officials will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project.

It is envisaged that the project will be progressed to tender stage in the coming months.
