The school referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter the Department’s pipeline of school buildings for a project to provide 1 Mainstream Classroom and 2 SET rooms. The project was devolved to the school authority for delivery.

A Stage 3 (tender report) has been received by my department which is currently being reviewed. All projects, including this one, will undergo the necessary due diligence outlined in the Public Infrastructure Guidelines.

Upon completion of this review process my Department officials will communicate with the school authority regarding the next steps to advance this significant project.
