Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the planning and architectural process on the planned expansion of a school (details supplied); the details of the accommodation and facilities that are to be encompassed as part of these plans; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe project to which the Deputy refers is to provide a new school with two Early Intervention/pre-school Classrooms, six Mild Moderate Classrooms, nine ASD Classrooms, three Severe and Profound Classrooms and associated ancillary accommodation.
The project has reached an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2b, which involves securing the statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. The Design Team is currently working on completing the Stage 2b submission.
When the Stage 2(b) submission has been submitted and approved, my Department will revert to the Board of Management at that time with regard to the further progression of the project to tender and construction.
