I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department approved a significant devolved grant in 2012 in respect of the school referred to for a permanent extension to replace some temporary buildings identified as being most in need of replacement. Approval has also been granted for a set down and bus drop off area, the relocation of existing ball courts and works to the front entrance, along with other abnormal works. This project was devolved to the Mayo, Sligo & Leitrim ETB for delivery.

Following receipt of tenders, a number of issues were identified with the tendering process and it was necessary to re-tender the project in line with Department guidelines. Once the re-tendering process has been completed successfully it is expected that this project should proceed to construction stage.
