The major building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2b (Detailed Design), which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents.
The Design Team has submitted written confirmation that it has completed a final review and is satisfied that the tender documents are complete, correct and in compliance with DoES and Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BC(A)R) tender documentation requirements.
My Department is currently reviewing its programme for capital expenditure in 2018 and 2019. Building projects, including the project for the school to which the Deputy refers, will be considered in that context. Officials from my Department will shortly be in contact with the school regarding a timeframe for progression of this project.
