The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to the Board of Management of the school.

I can confirm that a Design Team was appointed by the school authority in March 2022. The Design Team has the responsibility of preparing the Stage 1 report (preliminary design) for the project. This will be reviewed by my Department officials after submission who will also provide practical advice and assistance on the best option for progressing the project. The school's Design Team will manage the project through the various other architectural stages including obtaining the necessary statutory approvals and developing the project such that it can be approved to progress to tender and construction stages in due course.

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
