The school to which the Deputy refers was established in September 2015 and is currently operating from interim accommodation on a rented property. The project in relation to the temporary accommodation has been devolved by my Department to the school patron, Cork Education and Training Board.
The building project for the school's permanent accommodation is being delivered under my Department’s “Rapid” Design & Build programme. The brief for the project is to provide a new 24 classroom primary school with a 3 classroom Special Needs Unit on a green field site in Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork. The project is currently in architectural planning, which is the design development stage. The project will proceed to secure the necessary statutory approvals before proceeding to tender and construction stages.
