The school building project for the school referred to by the Deputy will deliver a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school and accommodation, including four classrooms, for children with special educational needs.
This project is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme and is currently at tender stage.
The Invitation to Tender issued on the 18th April 2023, as part of a bundle of projects issued to a Framework of Design & Build Contractors. The tender process currently takes approximately 8-12 months. Once a Contractor has been appointed, it is anticipated that construction would commence shortly thereafter.

The Large scale capital project at the school referred to by the Deputy, to provide accommodation for a 1,000 Pupil School, is at an advanced stage of the Tender process.
In July clarifications were received from the Design Team in relation to the Reserved Specialist Tender Report, however further information was subsequently requested. Planning and Building unit officials are currently engaging with the Design Team in relation to the remaining issues.
When this review is complete and subject to no further issues arising, my Department will be in further contact with the school authority.
