The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education & Training Board.

The Design team has now completed a revised Stage 2B report which was recently submitted to my Department for consideration. In addition, contractors for the project are in the process of being pre-qualified.

Once the pre-qualification of contractors has been completed and the stage 2B submission has been approved, the intention is that the project will proceed to tender and construction. It is not possible to say when the project will commence on-site until these processes have been completed.
