The major building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b), which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate and the preparation of Tender Documents.  All statutory approvals have been secured. 

In February 2017 the Stage 2b (Detailed Design) was approved, pending the completion of the process to carry out a short-listing of suitably qualified building contractors. The prequalification process commenced in July 2017 and is currently in progress.

On completion of the prequalification process, the Department will be contacting Cork ETB to inform the ETB of a timeframe for progression to tender and construction stages.
