The school building project referred to by the Deputy is devolved for delivery to Galway and Roscommon Educational Training Board (GRETB).

The project is currently at stage 1 of the architectural design process. The execution of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between my Department and GRETB is complete.

The Design Team for the project was appointed in April 2025, to design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions, and progress the project to tender and construction in due course.

While at this early stage, it is not possible to provide a timeline for the completion of this projects, GRETB will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep them informed of progress on this important project.
