Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The site acquisition for the school in question is at a very advanced stage of conveyancing. At the same time the Final Grant of planning has been received and tender documents are in preparation.  It is not possible to give an exact timeline for proceeding to tender at this stage. However when the site acquisition is complete the project will then progress to tender.
