An application for planning permission for interim accommodation on the permanent site for the school referred to by the Deputy was submitted to the Local Authority on the 12^thJuly 2022. A Request for Further Information (RFI) was received on 5th September 2022 which is currently with the Department’s Project Manager and its Design Team for a review of the 17 no. items raised and preparation of a response to be submitted to the Local Authority.

It is not possible to provide a timeframe for the progression of the project to tender and construction stages until such time as the necessary statutory approvals have been secured.

The Department will continue to address the interim accommodation requirements for the school and will continue to keep the patron body and the school updated.
