The permanent building project for school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department's Design and Build programme. This delivery programme uses a professional external Project Manager to progress the project through the relevant stages of architectural planning, tender and construction.
An application for planning permission for a 1,000 pupil post-primary school building, including 4 classrooms for children with special educational needs, was submitted to the relevant Local Authority in June 2021. The Grant of Planning decision was received from the Local Authority on 24th February 2022.
It is intended that the project will be included in the next bundle of projects to proceed to tender in Q4 2022.
