As the Deputy is aware, the development of a new permanent building for the school referred to by the Deputy is dependent on the completion of a building project for another school which will result in a  building becoming available for the school in question.

The major building project for that school is at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2b (Detailed Design) which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured. The Design team is currently completing works on a revised Stage 2b submission. My Department has also authorised the design team to carry out the pre-qualification of contractors. Upon receipt and review of the revised Stage 2b report, my Department will advise that Board of Management of the timeline for the progression of this project to tender and construction.
