The school to which the Deputy refers is one of eight new schools which was delivered in March 2014 under the Department’s Schools Bundle 3 Public Private Partnership (PPP) programme.
It is my Department’s intention to provide an extension to the school to meet the demand for additional school accommodation in the area referred to by the Deputy.
In that context, a planning application to proceed with the extension has been lodged with Waterford City and County Council. My Department has since responded to a request for further information from the Council in that respect. Subject to the decision of the Council on the matter, it is our intention to then proceed to the final stages of preparing the project for construction and delivery.
