Amharc ar fhreagraThe permanent building project for the school in question is being delivered under my Department's Design and Build programme. This delivery programme uses a professional external Project Manager to progress the project through the relevant stages of architectural planning, tender and construction.
Planning permission for a 1,000 pupil post-primary school building, including 4 classrooms for children with special educational needs, was received from the Local Authority on 24th February 2022.
The next step in the progression of this project is the preparation of tender documentation. Once this stage is complete, the project will then proceed to tender stage. It is intended that the project will be included in the next bundle of projects to proceed to tender later this year.
