417. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the status of the upgrading of facilities, extension or replacement of facilities at a school (details supplied); the total accommodation requirements being met; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44613/20]
View answerThe building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan. Following completion of the project the school will have a total accommodation of 16 mainstream classrooms and a 2-classroom Special Educational Needs Base.
The project is currently at Stage 1 of Architectural Planning, Preliminary Design and Site Investigations. A Stage 1 Stakeholders Meeting was held between the Board of Management, Project Manager, Design Team and officials from my Department earlier this month. Following that meeting, the Design Team have been requested to submit a Stage 1 Addendum in relation to the preferred design option, for review by my Department.
Upon receipt and review of the Addendum, my Department will contact the Board of Management and its Design Team in relation to the progression of the project.
