The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. My Department is currently in the final stages of the process of establishing a Framework of Design and Build Contractors to which Design and Build projects can be tendered. The tender process which involves the detailed tender for several schools is expected to be concluded shortly. My Department’s intention is to have the project referred to by the Deputy tendered as early as possible thereafter.

The project to which the Deputy refers is devolved for delivery to the Cork Education and Training Board (CETB). Under this arrangement, it will be a matter for the CETB to appoint a Design Team for the design and construction phases of the project.

Following a request from the CETB for a review of the long term projected enrolments, my Department is revising the schedule of accommodation to provide capacity for 600 pupils. This process is currently in train and my Department will be in further contact with the CETB as soon as the revised accommodation brief has been finalised.
