The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included on the Department's Capital Program to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP).
School building projects at construction involve an overall State investment of over €1.2 billion. There are also 200 modular accommodation projects that are very well advanced for delivery or at construction stage. This is a record level of investment in our schools and highlights the Government’s very strong track record of delivery in providing additional capacity and modern facilities for our school communities.
The project referred to by the Deputy to provide a new 24 Classroom School and two classrooms for children with special educational needs is at Architectural Planning Stage 4 – Construction. The project is progressing on site and subject to no issues arising Substantial Completion is expected in Q4 2023.
