A Stage 2A report has been submitted and this is currently under review by my Department's Professional and Technical team and this review is expected to be completed shortly.
The school authority is being assisted by Cavan and Monaghan ETB (CMETB) in the delivery of this project.

The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to the Office of Public Works (OPW).
This project is currently at Stage 2A of the architectural planning process. Upon receipt, review and approval of the Stage 2A report, the next step for the design team will be to obtain the necessary statutory planning approvals.
While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project, the OPW will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
