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 building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is included in the Department's 6 year building programme of projects to proceed to construction from 2016 to 2021.
