Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the delivery of this project is devolved to the school authority. My Department received a preliminary design report from Culmore National school in early 2020 for review. An issue with an aspect of the design of the building was identified and a review carried out by officials in that respect. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a letter informing the school the design had ultimately been approved following this review issued to the school on 20th August.
The following revised reply was received on 15 September 2020.
