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

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that this project was recently approved by my Department to proceed to Stage 2a of the architectural planning process (detailed design).

Once the Stage 2a submission is approved by my Department, the next step for the Design Team will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals. When these are in place, the project can proceed onwards to tender and construction.

At this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project.
