I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department received a Stage 2A report for review by my Department's Professional and Technical team. Officials from my Department have been in contact with the school in recent days to advise on how best to address some of the issues that were identified with this project.

A revised Stage 2A report has now been requested from the Design Team.

The school authority is being assisted by Cavan and Monaghan ETB (CMETB) in the delivery of this project and it is now with the school authority and CMETB to progress this project accordingly.

The school to which the Deputy refers made two applications for funding under my Department’s Emergency Works Scheme.

The first application which was for gas works, was approved in November 2023 and the school was notified of this approval.

The second application which was for electrical works, was approved in December 2023 and the school has also been informed of this approval.
