Amharc ar fhreagraThe project referred to by the Deputy was included in the School Buildings Works Programme for 2011 which was announced on 24th January.
The project to deliver a new 24 classroom building for the school is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The Board of Management was informed in June that the project could proceed to stage 2b which involves securing planning permission, fire certificate and disability access certificate and the completion of tender documents.
When the relevant statutory approvals have been obtained and stage 2b completed, and assuming no issues arise, my Department will then be in contact with the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project.
