The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at an early stage of Architectural Planning. It forms part of a campus development with phase 2 of Colaiste na Mi. Both schools are being progressed as a single project under the same design team. The design team are currently working on the completion of Stage 1 of Architectural Planning. The project for this school was included in the 5 year building programme announced in March 2012 and is listed to progress to construction in 2015/16.
