The school referred to by the Deputy is included on the six year programme announced on 17th November 2015 and is listed to proceed to tender and construction in 2017.
A Project Manager and Design Team have been appointed for the project and it is currently at Stage 1 of Architectural Planning, which is the initial sketch design stage. My Department officials met recently with the Board of Management and their Design Team to review the Pre Stage 1 report. A further meeting is currently being scheduled to progress the project through to completion of Stage 1.
Upon successful completion of Stage 1 and subject to no issues arising the project will be authorised to proceed to Stage 2a, which is the developed design stage.
