The school to which the Deputy refers was approved additional accommodation under my Department‘s Additional Accommodation Scheme 2013 to provide 5 additional mainstream classrooms for the replacement of prefabs.

The responsibility for the appointment of a Design Team for this project has been devolved to Dublin Dun Laoghaire Education & Training Board. The tender process for the appointment of the Design Team is now complete.

The final documentation is currently being reviewed and it is expected that the appointment letter will issue by the ETB as soon as this process is completed. The progression of the project at that point will be a matter for the Board of Management in conjunction with the appointed Design Team.
