I propose to take Questions Nos. 308, 338 and 360 together.
The Stage 2(b) Detailed Design Report for the major building project at the school to which the Deputy refers has recently been reviewed by my Department and comments on the report issued to the Board of Management in July 2017. A response to these comments is awaited from the Board of Management and its Design Team.
In parallel, the Board of Management and its Design Team are currently finalising the assessment of suitably qualified contractors to which the project can be tendered.
Once these steps are finalised my Department will then revert to the school with a timeframe to proceed to tender and construction stage.
