The building project at the school referred to by the Deputy is for a new build 24 classroom school including a Special Needs Unit, with an approx. floor area of 4,748M2.

The project is currently at Stage 2B of Architectural Planning - Detailed Design Stage, which includes applications for all statutory consents, including Planning Permission, Disability Access Certificate and Fire Safety Certificate and also the preparation of tender documentation. Planning Permission for the project was received in August of this year.

Once the Stage 2B submission has been received and reviewed, my Department will then revert to the school with regard to a timeframe for progression to tender.
