The school building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning (Stage 2b Detailed Design) which includes the application for Statutory Approvals and the preparation of Tender Documents. Planning Permission has been secured and the Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate applications are in progress.
Once all statutory approvals have been obtained and the Stage 2b report is submitted to my Department and reviewed, my Department will contact the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project at that time. This project was included in the 6 year construction programme announced on 17 November 2015.
