A schedule of overall accommodation has been drawn up for the redevelopment of Scoil Chaitríona. The school management authority has formally accepted this schedule. A full design team – that is, a suitably qualified architect, quantity surveyor, structural engineer and mechanical and electrical engineer – has recently been appointed and the process of architecturally planning a redevelopment of the school premises, to include additional accommodation, will begin shortly. In the interim, my Department has provided funding to the school authority to allow them to carry out health and safety works such as gas system repairs, ceiling repairs and plumbing repairs.
