View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB).
I am pleased to inform you that the tender process is ongoing and the closing date for the Reserve Specialists is in October 2022. Following the completion of this tender process and a Departmental review of the Tender Assessment Reports, construction will commence on-site. Providing no significant issues arise, the Department currently projects that construction should commence in Q1 2023. DETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
