Following the appointment of a replacement architect for the major building project at the school referred to by the Deputy, the project has completed Stage 1 of architectural planning and has been authorised to proceed to complete stage 2A, developed design stage, since January 2018.
Stage 2A allows for development of the design and to accurately cost the option agreed with the client to a stage where the project is fully cost planned and can be prepared to lodge for statutory approvals.
On receipt of the completed Stage 2A report, my Department will review the submission.
Once this review is complete my Department will be in contact with the Board of Management to advise as to the next steps.
