I can confirm to you Deputy that a project for the school in question was included in the Department's 6 Year Capital Programme announced in November 2015.

A suitable site in Local Authority ownership has been identified and the acquisition of the site has been devolved to the local Education and Training Board (ETB) for completion.

The building project for this school is also in the process of being devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB). 

The first step in this process is the execution of a Service Level Agreement between my Department and the ETB and this is being arranged.  Thereafter, the ETB will procure a Design Team for the project to design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions and move the project onward to construction in due course.  As the project is at an early stage in the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for their completion.

The delivery of the school project referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB). A Stage 1 (preliminary design) submission has recently been received from LCETB and this will be considered at a meeting scheduled to take place shortly. If the submission is found to be in order the project will be allowed to proceed to the next stage (Stage 2a - developed design).
