214. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Education and Skills the timeframe for the second phase of the building project for Lusk Community College; if she will provide information on the provision of adequate sports facilities, including changing rooms, and a library for the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33688/15]
View answerThe Major Building Project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The school's Design Team are currently working on completing Stage 2b - Detailed Design, which involves planning permission, fire certificate and disability access certificate and the completion of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.
The second phase of Lusk Community College provides for a new build to cater for an additional 650 pupils, a Special Needs Unit, a PE Hall with fitness suite and changing facilities and ancillary accommodation including a school library.
Once the Stage 2b Tender documentation is submitted, the Department will carry out its review and subject to no issues arising the project will then progress to tender and construction stages.
