The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Cork Education and Training Board (CETB).
I am pleased to advise that the Stage 2a meeting took place at the end of November 2022. Officials from my Department met with Cork ETB and the full Design Team where a number of recommendations were made. The design team was requested to address these recommendations and comments and to submit a Stage 2A addendum Report. My Department understands from CETB that its design team is currently finalising this Addendum Report and the submission is expected imminently.
Subject to the Department being satisfied with this report, and once this submission has been approved in that respect, approval to progress to Stage 2b will be sanctioned.
The next step for CETB and its Design Team will be to obtain the requisite statutory planning approvals. The project can then be expected to move onward to tender and construction in due course.
CETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
