The school building project for the schools referred to by the Deputy will be delivered under the Department’s Design & Build programme. The project involves the delivery of a post primary school and two primary schools on a greenfield site.

The project is currently at advanced architectural planning which includes the preparation of the planning application. The Design & Build Project Management Team is now proceeding to finalise the planning application for submission to Cork County Council which is due to be lodged in February.

The project will need to secure the necessary statutory approvals before proceeding to tender and construction stages. Based on the current project programme, the anticipated handover of the schools is scheduled for late Quarter 4 of 2020.
