The project to which the Deputy refers is to provide a 4 classroom Special Education Needs base, general purpose room and ancillary under my Department‘s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme.
The project was devolved for delivery to the school authority and it has appointed a design team to progress the project.
I wish to advise the Deputy that the Stage 1 Design Report for the project was received by my Department and is being reviewed by the Technical Team at present. Once this review has been completed the Department will contact the school authorities with the outcome for the progression of this much needed project. My Department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide practical advice and assistance on the project.
