The major building project referred to by the Deputy is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design, which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.
The Design Team is currently working on the finalisation of the Stage 2(b) report which upon completion will be submitted to the Department for review and approval.
Upon receipt and review of the Stage 2(b) report my Department will be in contact with the school and its Design Team regarding the further progression of the project, including pre-qualification of contractors.
