As the Deputy is aware, the projects to which he refers have been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of bundled school building programmes.
In respect of the two projects referred to that are located in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, both projects are in the bundle referred to as ‘Project Nore'. I'm pleased to inform the Deputy that both of these projects have been approved to Stage 2b (of the architectural planning process) by the Department.
The remaining projects to which the Deputy refers are in the bundle referred to as 'Project Dargle'. The NDFA is currently preparing for the appointment of a Design Team for this bundle.
At this early stage, it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the projects; the NDFA will be engaging directly with relevant school authorities to keep them informed of progress.
