Comment on this
The project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects.The project is currently at Stage 2b of the architectural process. A planning application was lodged with Wicklow County Council and planning permission was granted in Quarter 1 2024.
When Stage 2b has been finalised and approved, the next stage is tendering for a contractor and then onwards to construction in due course.
While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the projects, the NDFA will be engaging directly with the school authorities to keep them informed of progress.
