The major building project to provide permanent accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy is in architectural planning. The Design Team are currently working on Stage 2a (Developed Sketch Design) and a draft Stage 2A report was recently submitted for review by my Department. This will be followed by a Stage 2A stakeholders meeting which will include the school and its design team. Subject to no issues arising, the project will then be authorised to progress to Stage 2B - Detailed Design, which includes the application for statutory approvals (including Planning Permission) and the preparation of tender documents. The project is included in the current five year school building programme. However, despite the details provided by the Deputy, the school in question is not designated as participating in the DEIS scheme.
