My Department has approved the Stage 1 submission (i.e. Site Suitability, Site Report and Initial Sketch Scheme) for the school to which the Deputy refers and gave authorisation to progress to the next stage of architectural planning, which is Stage 2A (Developed Sketch Scheme).
The progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to tender and construction, including this project, will be considered on an on-going basis in the context of my Department's Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
