Under the current NDP my Department has a significant existing pipeline of projects to be delivered over the coming years to meet capacity needs managed under the Large-Scale Capital Programme (LSCP) and the Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA). This includes circa 1,200 school building projects across the various stages of planning, design, tender and construction.
Over the last couple of months, both myself and my officials have had extensive and ongoing engagement with both the Minister of Public Expenditure and Reform and his officials on this matter.
The revised NDP is currently being finalised by Government and is due for final publication shortly
