The project to which you refer has been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB).

I am pleased to inform you that the pre-qualification process for the project was recently approved by my Department. DETB will now continue with the tender process for appointing a contractor.

While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project, DETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.

The school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under my Additional Accommodation Scheme to build 2 mainstream classrooms, refurbishment of existing 2 classrooms, 2 SET rooms, Principal's Office, Staff Room/General Office, Store, and Staff/Disabled Shower WC. This project is devolved to the school authority for delivery.

I can confirm that my Department received a Stage 3 Tender Report from the school on the 19^thNovember 2021. The report is currently being reviewed in the Department; the completion of this review is expected shortly and subsequent instruction will issue to the school authority in the coming days.
