I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the building project for the school to which he refers has now been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB). A Design Team for the project was appointed in July 2022. This team will now design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions, and move the project onward to tender and construction stages in due course.

The Design Team are progressing through Stage 1 which involves developing options for both school buildings. DETB will submit a Stage 1 report to the DoE immediately thereafter.

As the project is at an early stage in the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion. The ETB engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
