As the Deputy will be aware, the construction of the project referred to by the Deputy is being undertaken by the relevant Local Authority, with financial assistance from my Department.

My Department provided the Local Authority with funding for the purchase of land for this project in late 2020. The Local Authority subsequently submitted an initial design however the Department required amendments and I understand that a revised design has now been agreed.

I also understand that the Local Authority is currently working with my Department in preparing tender documents for the project and it is hoped that the tender process can commence shortly with a view to having the construction completed in 2022.
