Minister for Education

I propose to take Questions Nos. 198 and 210 together.

The school referred to by the Deputy is at Architectural planning Stage 4 - Construction. Works commenced on site in June 2023 with an estimated completion timeframe of 18 months. However, due to unforeseen site issues at the outset, completion is now estimated at Quarter 2 of 2025. The Design Team and my Department's Planning and Building Unit are monitoring progress closely and every effort will be made to mitigate any further delay.

My Department officials will keep the school authority informed in relation to the completion date as the project progresses.
