The project referred to by the Deputy, has been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects. This school is in the bundle referred to as Project Boyne.
I am pleased to advise that the project is currently at Stage 2b of the process, which allows for detailed design/planning, obtaining the necessary statutory permissions and the preparation of tender documents.
The next stage of the architectural process is tendering for a contractor and then construction in due course. Prior to completion of the current stage 2b and subsequent successful procurement, it is not possible to provide an accurate predicted date for completion.
The NDFA as the devolved delivery body, will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
