612. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Education the status and details of the development of a new building for a school (details supplied) in County Meath; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17212/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. This delivery programme uses a professional external Project Management team to progress the project through the stages of architectural planning, tendering and construction.
An application for Planning Permission in respect of the works was submitted to the relevant Local Authority in September 2020. A Request for Further Information (RFI) was received in October 2020.
My Department’s Design and Build Project Management team are actively working on this RFI and a response will be issued as soon as possible.
As with all school projects, the exact timeframe for delivery of the project will be dependent on the grant of planning permission.
