Planning permission for the school building project referred to by the Deputy was granted by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council on the 13th June 2019 subject to 18 no. conditions. Two of these conditions relating to the provision of a public greenway were subsequently the subject of a first party appeal by my Department to An Bord Pleanála. The decision of An Bord Pleanála overturning these two conditions was received on the 4th February 2020. The ABP decision has facilitated the progression to the next stage ie tender and construction. The current position is that tender documents are being prepared and when these are finalised in the coming months the project will then be in a position to go to tender with a bundle of projects.
Construction is underway for the installation of temporary accommodation on the permanent school site for September 2020.
