I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the building project for the school to which he refers is being devolved for delivery to Galway & Roscommon Education and Training Board (GRETB).

The project will provide for the development of two schools consisting of a 41-classroom primary school including 5-classroom SEN and an 8-classroom primary school with 2-classbase SEN.

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) has been issued to GRETB. The Design Team has been procured and the project will progress through the stages of architectural planning to design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions, and move the project onward to tender and construction in due course.
