The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included on the Department's Capital Programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP).
It has been necessary to carry out a Strategic Assessment Review of the proposed project for the school in order to consider various options as to how best to progress the project. This has now been completed and a number of options have been identified as to how the project can be progressed which will be part of the remit of the Design team for the project when appointed.
The Department is now in the process of amending the Brief Formulation Documents for the project to include for the details of the Strategic Assessment report to allow for the project to be ready to progress into architectural planning.
My Department has also now reached agreement with CEIST the school patron to manage the delivery of this project which will allow the Department to progress this project into the architectural planning process very shortly.
