The project to which the Deputy refers has a 24 month duration.  It went on site in May 2017 and is scheduled to be completed in May 2019.

In the meantime, the local Education and Training Board is continuing to examine the options for accommodation for the school to which the Deputy refers.  This involves consideration of the timing and availability of appropriate infrastructure in the area.

The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school to which he refers is included on the 6-year Construction Programme. In this regard, my Department has carried out a site visit to the school. The next step includes the formulation of the accommodation brief for the project and this process is in train. My Department will be liaising with the school in due course in the context of initiating the architectural planning process for the project.
