Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of progress with regard to the permanent location for a school (details supplied); if a technical report has been submitted; the stage the design process is at; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, a building project to provide permanent accommodation for the school in question is included in my Department’s 6 Year Construction Programme.
My Department has been working with the local authority to acquire the site on which the school is currently located. It is intended to progress the building project for the school into the architectural planning process shortly. In this regard, a schedule of accommodation for the building project has been finalised and was furnished to the school authority recently.
My Department will be in further contact with the school in relation to the next steps at the earliest opportunity.
My Department will continue to liaise directly with the school in the context of progressing the new school building project.
