The project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at Stage 1 of the architectural planning process and a design team was appointed in May 2022. The project has been devolved to the school patron for delivery under a Service Level Agreement.
It is a matter for the school authority and its design team to progress the project through the various stages of the architectural planning process including school design, obtaining the necessary statutory consents and move the project onward to construction stage in due course. As the project is at the early design stage, it is not possible, at this time, to give an indicative timeline for completion of the project.
My Department has recently received correspondence from the school authority relating to the project and a response will issue when this has been considered.
