The school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to provide the following accommodation: 6 General Classrooms (5 Prefab replacement) 1 x WC for assisted Users, 2 Science Labs + shared Prep area, 1 computer Lab, 1 Technology room & prep area, 1 Home Economics room, toilets, lockers, circulation, stairs and 2 class SEN base. This project has been devolved to the school's Board of Management for delivery.
A Stage 1 Report was submitted for review in the Department by the school and its Design Team. Approval to proceed to Stage 2a, providing that the points raised in the Department's Review Report were addressed by the appointed school’s Design Team, was given in Quarter 1 of this year.
As the project has been devolved to the school, it is now a matter for the Board of Management and its Design Team to advance this project in that context.
