A building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s 6 year Construction Programme for 2016-2021.

A project brief has been finalised and the project will be delivered via the ADAPT programme. The ADAPT programme uses a professional external Project Manager to coordinate and drive the respective design teams on each project.

In this regard, a tender competition is in train to establish a Project Manager framework which is expected to be in place by early March. The formulation of tender documentation is underway and once the framework has been established a tender exercise will be carried out to appoint a Project Manager for all projects under the ADAPT programme, including this particular project.

All schools with projects on the ADAPT programme will be contacted shortly by my Department to provide an update on the status of their respective project.

A number of issues have arisen with respect to the project referred to by the Deputy which, unfortunately, have delayed it significantly. However, Dublin & Dun Laoghaire ETB (DDLETB) is assisting the school authority with the appointment of a new design team for the project. This process is nearing completion.

The next stage of this project will be for the new Design Team to review the proposed plans and progress the project to tender and construction stage. It is not possible to say exactly when the project will proceed to construction at this time.
