The building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan.

My Department submitted an application for planning permission to the Local Authority on 26th September 2019. A Request for Further Information was received on 20th November 2019. My Department's Project Management team are actively working on this request.

Once all issues have been addressed the RFI response will be issued to the Local Authority and a decision will be awaited.
