Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 March 2015
830. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a school building project (details supplied) in County Kildare; if this will be included in the next five-year plan/capital building programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12109/15]
View answerThe major building project for the proposed school amalgamation, referred to by the Deputy, is at an early stage of Architectural Planning. Following the Pre Stage 1 meeting, which was held in November 2014, the Boards of Management and their Design Team are working on finalising the stage 1 report for submission to my Department. Upon satisfactory completion of stage 1 and subject to no issues arising the project will be authorised to progress to Stage 2A, which is the developed sketch design stage.
It is intended that school building projects in architectural planning, including this project, will be progressed to final planning stages so that they will be well placed for consideration in the context of future construction programmes.
