The school building project to which the Deputy refers has been approved funding under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to enable the school to build a two classroom SEN base.
The project has been devolved for delivery to Dublin and Dún Laoghaire ETB (DDLETB) and a Design Team has been appointed in that respect. The project is currently in Architectural Design. Site surveys and investigations have commenced and a pre-planning meeting has been held with South Dublin County Council in advance of preparing the Stage 1 Preliminary Design Report. This is expected to be with my Department before the end of this year.
Officials from my Department will review the Stage 1 submission once it has been received and a meeting between Department officials, DDLETB, the Design Team and the School Authority may be required in that regard.
Given that the project has to progress through design and obtain planning permission it is not possible at this stage to provide an accurate timeframe for the completion of the project.
