The permanent school building project for the school referred to by the Deputy has been assigned to my Department’s Design & Build delivery programme. The final grant of planning permission for the project was received in March 2021. This campus project will deliver a 1,000 pupil post-primary school for the school referred to by the Deputy as well as a 16 classroom primary gaelscoil on the permanent site at Fortunestown Lane, Citywest, Saggart, Co. Dublin.
It is intended that the project will be included in the next bundle of Design & Build projects to proceed to tender this year.
My Department will continue to liaise with the school's patron body in relation to the school's interim accommodation needs pending delivery of the permanent school.
