The school to which the Deputy refers was approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme to provide a 3 Mainstream Classrooms, 2 SET rooms, 2 Classroom SEN base and Demolition of 1 Prefab unit.
The project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery.
My Department received the revised Stage 1 cost plan from the Design Team and this has recently been reviewed by my Department's Professional and Technical officials. The outcome of this review is being shared directly with the school authority.

350. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the status of progress on the proposed new school (details supplied); if the project is in the capital school building programme; and the projected timeline for construction. [16594/24]

The project to which the Deputy refers, was approved funding as a large scale capital project. It is devolved for delivery to Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board (LOETB)
I am pleased to advise that the project is currently at stage 2b of the architectural design process (developed design). At this stage the design team will obtain the statutory planning approvals, prepare a set of fully detailed Tender documents, and prepare an accurate pre-tender cost plan.
Once these approvals are in place, the project can proceed to tender and construction in due course.
At this juncture, it is not possible to give a date for its completion.
LOETB as the devolved delivery body, will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
