The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB).

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the project was recently approved to tender stage; DETB will now commence the process of tendering for a contractor.

Please be assured that DETB is engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.

The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan.

This project is one of the school building projects on my Department’s traditional build programme, and is currently at tender stage. Tenders have recently been returned from a number of contractors and the Design Team are assessing same to identify a preferred bidder and Design Team will forward a tender report to my Department shortly.

Subject to no issues arising during the balance of the tender process, it is envisaged that construction should commence in Quarter 4 of 2021.
