The school building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s “Rapid” Design & Build programme. The brief for the project is to provide a new 1000 pupil post primary school with a 3 classroom Special Needs Unit on a green field site in Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork.

The project is currently at Stage 2B of architectural planning, which is the detailed design stage. The project will proceed to secure the necessary statutory approvals before proceeding to tender and construction stages. Representatives of the school attended a meeting to review the plans for the new school which was held on the 11 September 2018.
