Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 April 2017
132. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will ensure a new school (details supplied) in County Cavan is prioritised by his Department; the reason it is not being treated as urgent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18426/17]
View answerThe building project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2(b) detailed design stage, which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.
The Design Team are currently completing the Stage 2(b) submission which the Board of Management will submit to my Department for review. When the Stage 2(b) has been reviewed my Department will revert to the school at that time with a timeframe for the further progression of the project to tender stage.
