Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Education and Skills when the next phase of development for Lusk Community College is expected to be completed; the details on the facilities which will be delivered as part of this next phase of development; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Major Building Project for Lusk Community College is at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2(b) - 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 the project 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.
The Stage 2(b) report was recently submitted to my Department for review. Once the review is completed my Department will revert to the Design Team and ETB with regard to further progression of the project.
