255.

The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently awaiting the appointment of a Design Team. Officials from my Department have been in direct contact with the school authorities to outline the procurement process for the Design Team.

Upon completion of the appointment of the Design Team, my Department Officials will be in further contact with the Board of Management to commence Stage 1 of Architectural Planning, which is the initial sketch design stage.

The period of time it takes to progress major school building projects through the architectural planning process varies for each project depending on its size and complexity.
