The project referred to by the Deputy is a shared campus project encompassing Scoil Mhuire Secondary School and Gaelscoil na Bóinne on a greenfield site in Trim, Co. Meath.

The project is devolved for delivery to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) as part of a programme of school building projects.

The project brief for Scoil Mhuire Secondary School includes the development of a 1000 pupil post primary school with a 6 classroom Special Education Needs (SEN) unit.

The project brief for Gaelscoil na Bóinne includes the development of an 8-classroom primary school with a 2 classroom SEN unit.

The project 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.

The NDFA are engaging directly with the relevant school authorities to keep them informed of progress.

The current status of all projects is listed on a county-by-county basis at www.gov.ie. and this is updated on a regular basis to reflect project progress through the various stages of capital appraisal, site acquisition, design, tender and construction.
