425.

View answerResponsibility for the delivery of a new 16 classroom school referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to the Office of Public Works. The project is at the early stages of architectural planning and I understand that the OPW is currently liasing with the school authorities to progress the sketch scheme for the school. A site survey has been completed and an Ecological Screening Report required prior to planning has commenced and is due to be completed next week. The school project is included in the 5 Year Construction Programme announced in March 2012 and is scheduled to commence construction in 2014/2015.
