The projects to which the Deputy refers have been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects.

There are six projects in Project Boyne. They are all currently at Stage 2b of the architectural design process. They have all received planning permission from their local authority, and the Design Team for the projects are currently working in conjunction with the Department to conclude the pre-tender stage after which, subject to Department approval, the procurement of a contractor and construction will follow.

As Project Boyne is at pre-tender stage, this financial information is commercially sensitive, and cannot be disclosed at this time.
