Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the amalgamation process involving the Cahir schools will be finalised with the delivery of the major school building project.
In that regard, the major building project is currently at Architectural Planning, Stage 2A, which is the Developed Sketch Design Stage. The Board of Management and Design Team are currently working on the Stage 2A report for submission to my Department Officials for review. Upon successful completion of Stage 2A and subject to no issues arising the project will be authorised to proceed to Stage 2B – Detailed Design. The Notification of Decision to Grant Planning Permission was received from Tipperary County Council 20th December 2017.
