The major school building project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b). All statutory approvals have been secured.

However, following the necessary appointment of a replacement Mechanical & Electrical Engineer the Design Team in association with the newly appointed Engineer are working on a revised M&E report which will be submitted to the Department when it is completed. My Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report.

Upon receipt and review of this report the Department will revert to the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.

The major building project referred to by the Deputy 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 2b submission has been reviewed by the Department. Following this review the Design Team have been authorised to commence the process to carry out a prequalification of contractors for this project. Once the prequalification process is complete the Department will be in contact with the Design Team and Board of Management regarding the further progress of the project to tender and construction stage.
