The school referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter the Department's pipeline of school buildings for a project to provide 6 general classrooms, 1 technical graphics room, 1 woodwork room, 2 Science rooms including a shared preparation area, 1 home economics room and a 2 classroom SEN base.
This project was approved to proceed to Stage 3 (tender) in Q4 2024. My Department recently contacted the school authority for an update and is currently awaiting the Stage 3 Tender report. Once received, the project will be considered within the overall capital programme pipeline. Progression to the next stage is subject to the Government’s Infrastructure Guidelines and the required due diligence under the Public Infrastructure Guidelines. Managing timing, scope, and cost is crucial to staying within budgetary limits for the overall program.
It is within the remit of the school authority to progress the project accordingly.
