The school referred to by the Deputy has been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB).

The Design Team is currently progressing through Stage 1 of architectural planning, which involves developing options and DETB will submit a Stage 1 report to My Department once all viable options for the site have been reviewed in full.

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

Once consideration of this issue has been completed and a solution identified My Department will inform the relevant schools of next steps in the process.
