Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 April 2024
47. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Education the updated position on the construction of a school in County Mayo (details supplied); the stage it is at; when the school can expect further development on this project; when the school is expected to be completed; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB).
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the project was recently approved by the Department to proceed to Stage 2a of the architectural planning process. The Design Team will now begin working on the developed design.
Once the Stage 2a submission is approved by my Department, the next step for the Design Team will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals. When these are in place, the project can proceed to tender and construction in due course.
While at this stage, it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project. MSLETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
