The project to which the Deputy refers, has been devolved for delivery to Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB).

The brief for this project provides for a 8-classroom school, 2 SET rooms, Principals office and 1 combined resource / library area.

The project is currently at Stage 3 of the architectural design process. At the end of May 2024, the ETB were given authorisation to issue the Letter of Intent to the contractor.

It is expected that work will commence on site in quarter 3, 2024, and pending no unforeseen delays or issues, the project is expected to reach completion in quarter 4, 2025.

CMETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
