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

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that planning permission has been secured for the project and the Departments Project Management team are currently working on the preparation of the tender documents for the tender and appointment of a Contractor.

The Department and it's PM team are also engaging with a third party contractor regarding the road network which will have to be constructed by that party in parallel with the schools building project and both parties will jointly be engaging further with Cork County Council regarding a joint construction programme as is required under the conditions of the grant of planning permission.

The intention is to commence work on the planning compliance items in the coming weeks to start the process with Cork Co. Co.
