I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the building project for the school to which he refers is being devolved for delivery to Waterford & Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB).

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) in respect of this project has been issued to WWETB. The next step is for the ETB to procure a Design Team to design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions, and move the project onward to tender and construction in due course.

The school to which the deputy refers was approved funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2018 to facilitate construction of three classrooms, one resource room, two standard WC and one WC for assisted users.

A Stage 1 submission was received in my Department which indicated that there are site restrictions applicable to the project, which have cost implications for its delivery. A site visit was carried out by officials from the Department's Professional & Technical Team on the 5th October with a view to progressing this project.

Officials are currently reviewing this project in my Department and will revert to the school when this review has been completed.
