The project which the Deputy refers to has been devolved for delivery to Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board (LCETB).
The brief for this project is the provision of a new 32 classroom primary school and a two class Special Education Needs base. Approval under the Department’s Additional School Accommodation for refurbishment works to provide two special education teaching rooms was also provided.
Following receipt of a detailed design and planning report from LCETB's design team, the Department reviewed and recommended enhancements to the project which related principally to the proposed decarbonisation strategy and project phasing requirements for the school.
These recommendations were responded to with updated information last month and the Department is finalising its response to this which it will share directly with LCETB shortly. The Department will continue to work closely with LCETB and its Design Team.
