Written answers

The campus project referred to by the deputy comprises the delivery of two new schools for the area in question. This project has been devolved to Galway and Roscommon Education & Training Board (GRETB).

I am pleased to confirm that GRETB has appointed a design team for this project. The Design Team will now take the project through the various stages of architectural planning and onwards through the statutory planning requirements and construction.

The timeframe for the construction of the project will not be known until the design stages have been completed and planning permission has been secured. It is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion.

Please be assured that GRETB will be engaging directly with each of the school authorities to keep them informed of progress.
