The school to which the Deputy refers was approved to enter the department’s pipeline for a project under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The project will provide four General classrooms, seven SET rooms, three Science labs/two Prep rooms, two Engineering rooms, two Tech rooms/two Prep rooms, one Graphics room, one Art room, one Home Economics room, one Textiles room, five Project stores, one General Purpose Hall and a two Classroom SEN base. Delivery of this project has been devolved to Cavan & Monaghan ETB.
I can confirm that this project received my departments approval to go to planning in May 2025 and my department now awaits a post planning (developed design) report from Cavan & Monaghan ETB for review.
At this early stage, it is not possible to predict when a significant school building project of this nature will go to construction, nor when it will be completed, as progress depends upon many contingent factors that can arise.
My department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide practical advice and assistance on this much needed project.
