The large scale capital project at the school referred to by the Deputy, is at an advanced stage of Architectural planning Stage 3 – Tender Action and Award. The tender process was undertaken and a contractor is identified. However, the existing planning permission is due to expire in September 2023. My Department's officials are liaising with the Design Team in relation to planning permission requirements with the aim of ensuring that any delays are minimised to the greatest extent possible. It remains the Department's ambition to have construction commencing on this project in 2023.
