Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved to enter my department’s pipeline for a project under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The project will provide three general classrooms, a science room with preparation area, a construction room with preparation area, a home economics room, a graphic design laboratory, a music room, a project store, two SET rooms, ancillary accommodation, and a one-classroom SEN base.
The project was devolved to the Mayo Sligo Leitrim Education Training Board (MSLETB) for delivery.
My Department is awaiting the submission of the post-planning (Developed Design) report for review. Department officials engaged directly with the design team and MSLETB to address a planning-related query raised by MSLETB, and there are currently no outstanding queries with the Department.
My Department will continue to work closely with MSLETB to provide guidance and support on this project.
