I am aware of the urgency of providing additional accommodation at St. Nessan's national school, Mungret, County Limerick. An architect from my Department visited the school on 21 March last and carried out a detailed survey of the school site. Design drawings are currently in preparaton and it is anticipated that a sketch scheme will issue to the school management shortly for their approval. The scheme will then have to be submitted for planning permission.
When all the design work is completed, a decision on the timing of the tender and contract processes will be taken in the light of available funding.
