The current position in respect of the joint major building project for St. John Bosco Boys JNS, St John Bosco SNS, and Mary Help of Christians GNS is as follows:
The updated Stage 2(a) submission was received from the Design Team in the Department on the 3rd July 2024, and is under review by the Department's Professional and Technical Team.
The Stage 2(a) Stakeholders meeting date is arranged for Wednesday 16th October, with representatives from the 3 schools Board of Management, the Design Team and Department officials invited to attend.
Stage 2a – Developed Design - is a crucial element of the architectural planning process as it is at this stage that the design is developed to a stage where it can be fully cost planned and prepared to lodge for statutory approvals.
The Department are committed to progressing this project through architectural planning, to a point where it can apply for all statutory approvals, including planning permission.
Until the project design is at a stage where statutory approvals, planning permission, etc are secured by the Design Team, it will not be possible to provide an estimated onsite date.
