Amharc ar fhreagraThe major building project for the school in Roscommon referred to by the Deputy, is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning Stage 2b – Detailed Design which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of Tender Documents. All relevant statutory approvals have been obtained and the Design Team is currently working on the preparation of the tender documentation. The Stage 2b Submission is expected to be submitted to my Department for review shortly. Following the review of the submission and subject to no issues arising, officials from my Department will contact the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project to tender stage. As you may be aware on 18 December 2014 I announced details of 70 school projects which are scheduled to commence construction in 2015. The building project for the school in question was included in this announcement.
