I propose to take Questions Nos. 101, 102 and 103 together.

The school building project referred to by the Deputy is included in the Department of Education and Youths’ Construction Programme.

The brief for the project is the delivery of a new replacement 1,000 pupil post primary school and accommodation including 6 classrooms for children with special educational needs as part of a shared educational campus at Le Fanu Road, Ballyfermot, Dublin 10.

It is intended that the project will be delivered under my Department's ADAPT Programme which uses a professional external Project Manager to co-ordinate and drive the Integrated Project Team to achieve the best possible timeframe for the project through the stages of Architectural Planning, to Tender and Construction.

The ADAPT 4 Programme will be led by Integrated Project Teams (IPT’s), consisting of highly skilled and experienced design professionals, architects, engineers, project managers, quantity surveyors and various other consultants to deliver the projects.

AECOM as the Programme Manager are overseeing the procurement and appointment of the IPT’s. It is anticipated that the procurement process to appoint IPT's for the tranche of projects including the project referred to by the Deputy would commence during 2026.

It is not possible to provide a timeframe for the progression of the project to tender and construction stages until such time as the necessary statutory approvals have been secured.

My Department will provide an update to the school authorities regarding progression of this project.
