The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Cork Education and Training Board (CETB).
The project is currently at Stage 2a of the architectural detailed design process. The Stage 2a report has been received into my department and the review has been completed. A stage meeting has been scheduled to take place in Q1 2025 with CETB, the Design Team and the school authorities.
Once the Stage 2a is approved by my department, the next step will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals. When these are in place, the project will then proceed to tender and construction in due course.
While the project is at this stage, it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project at this juncture however CETB as the devolved body will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep them informed of progress.
