The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Limerick & Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB).

I am pleased to confirm that Planning Permission was granted in late summer 2020 with a number of conditions. The next steps in progressing the project to tender stage are underway and the project will then proceed onward to construction in due course. I can assure the Deputy that I am fully committed to providing the funding necessary to complete the project in that context.

I can inform the Deputy that the school to which he refers has been approved funding for a project under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme. This project has been devolved for delivery to Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB) in that context.

This project is currently at Stage 1 (preliminary design stage) of the design process. It is for CMETB to submit a Stage 1 report to my Department for review in that context. This report is awaited.

I can also inform the Deputy that additional funding was recently provided to carry out some fire safety works on the existing building. I understand from the ETB that these works have recently been completed.
