Amharc ar fhreagraThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is completing Stage 2(a) of the Architectural Planning process, the Developed Design Stage.
Following the Stage 2(a) Stakeholder’s meeting which was held on the 30th November 2016, the ETB and its Design Team were requested to submit a Stage 2(a) addendum addressing issues which arose at the meeting. This addendum was submitted by the ETB on the 22nd December 2016 and is currently under review. My Department will revert to the ETB once this review is complete.
Upon successful completion of Stage 2(a) the project will then be authorised to progress to complete Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design, which includes the applications for statutory approvals and the preparation of Tender Documents.
