The school to which the Deputy refers to was approved to enter my Departments pipeline of school building projects under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme to provide six general classrooms, five special education tuition (SET) rooms, one graphics room, one art room and project store, one textiles room, a two classroom special educational needs (SEN) base, and ancillary accommodation.
The project was devolved for delivery to Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board.
The Stage 1 (preliminary design) report was received by my Department and is currently being reviewed from both a technical and cost perspective in accordance with the requirements of the Public Spending Code. All projects, including this one, will undergo the necessary due diligence outlined in the Public Infrastructure Guidelines. Managing timing, scope, and cost is crucial to staying within budgetary limits for the overall program. Once the review is completed, the outcome will be communicated to the WWETB as the delivery body for this project.
