The project to which the Deputy refers is a Major Devolved project and has been devolved for delivery under the patronage of CEIST.

It is currently at Stage 2b of the architectural process, which allows for detailed design/planning, obtaining the necessary statutory permissions and the preparation of tender documents.

Once the Design Team have completed the Stage 2b report, it will be submitted to the Department for review. Following this review, the next stage is tendering for a contractor and then onwards to construction, in due course.

While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project, CEIST will be engaging directly with the school to keep it informed of progress.
