The project referred to by the Deputy is currently in architectural planning.  Site surveys have commenced and a pre-planning meeting has been held with South Dublin County Council in advance of preparing the Planning Application, which will be the next key milestone in the progression of the project.  Until such time as planning permission has been secured, it will not be possible to provide a timeframe for the progression of the project through tender and construction stages.

A major project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department's building programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP). It is intended that the project, when completed, will provide capacity for 1,000 students. The project brief is expected to be completed shortly.

The project will be delivered by the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) as part of a programme of school building projects. My Department will be in contact with the school patron as the project progresses.
