Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for the School referred to by the Deputy is at early stage of architectural planning.
My Department has recently received the Stage 3 submission and officials from my Department are currently reviewing it. Unless there are very exceptional circumstances arising from the review of the Stage 3, it is envisaged that the project will be allowed to progress to the next stage of architectural planning.
Progression of all projects to tender and construction will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
