The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme.

Following the site visit to the school by my Department, the preliminary work associated with the project has been initiated. This includes determining how the accommodation needs of the school will be met and this process is in train. My Department will be in further contact with the school patron when this process has been completed.

The Design Team for the major building project for the school in question submitted the original Stage 2B Report in August of this year and my Department found a number of omissions in this report. The original report was returned to the Design Team via the Board of Management for updating. 

An amended Stage 2B report has recently been received and is currently being reviewed by my Department. 

On completion of the review of this report, my Department will revert to the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.
