The project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan (NDP) as part of Project Ireland 2040 framework.
This major building project will be delivered under my Department's ADAPT Programme. ADAPT is an acronym for the "Accelerated Delivery of Architectural Planning and T endering".
The ADAPT programme uses a professional external Project Manager to co-ordinate and drive the Design Team to achieve the best possible timeframe for the project through the stages of Architectural Planning, to Tender and Construction.
The tender process to appoint a Project Manager was completed last week.
The Project Manager will commence the tender process for the appointment of a Design Team for each of the projects on this ADAPT programme, including this project.
My Department will keep the school authorities informed of the progression of these appointments as they proceed.
