The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved to the school Board of Management for delivery, with the assistance of the Joint Managerial Body (JMB).
This major building project includes an extension, refurbishment and demolition works.
Currently the design team is working through Stage 2b of the architectural planning process. This includes recommendations made by my Department for the Decarbonisation Strategy for the project. Given the complexities involved, this has added some time to the finalisation of the Stage 2b Report. When the Stage 2b Report has been approved, the next stage is tendering for a contractor and onwards to construction.
Until Stage 2b has been approved, it is not possible to accurately provide a timeframe for the commencement of the works at the school.
