454. Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill asked the Minister for Education when a school (details supplied) will have a permanent building; if a detailed schedule for the work will be provided; the date on which planning permission for the building will be submitted; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department's Design and Build programme. A pre-planning meeting was held with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council earlier in the year and this is informing the design for the project. Lodgement of the Planning Application will be the next key milestone in the progression of the project. To this end, the final pre-planning meeting is due to be held with Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council on the 23rd September next. My Department's Project Manager for the Design and Build programme is working towards submission of the planning application as soon as possible. Until such time as planning permission has been secured, it will not be possible to provide a timeline for progression of the project to tender and construction stages.
