The school to which the Deputy refers was approved to enter the department’s pipeline of projects under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme for the provision of 11 General Classrooms, 3 SET rooms, 1 Multimedia room, 1 Textiles room, 1 Science lab/Prep area, 2 Classroom SEN base and the removal of 3 Prefabs. An additional SEN Base was added to the project a few months after the initial approval was granted.
The project has been devolved to Mayo Sligo Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB) for delivery.
This project is currently at Stage 1 pending the submission of a Stage 1 report, and will be required to go through further stages and assessment for planning and tendering prior to the project being approved to construction.
Each of these steps require a significant amount of time, but are crucial to maintain our commitment to excellence and to deliver the best possible outcome for this project in line with my Departments Infrastructure Guidelines.
It is currently not possible at this early stage to give the Deputy a timeframe as to when this school project will go to construction.
