My Department is endeavouring to maximise the efficient use of all available capacity in the public sector to assist in the delivery of the schools programme and in this context the new school building for the school mentioned by the Deputy is one of 15 school projects where responsibility for the delivery of the projects was devolved to the Office of Public Works (OPW).
Four of these projects were tendered by the OPW in early 2013. The OPW have recently forwarded a tender report for these school projects to the Department. The Department, in consultation with the OPW, is currently considering these documents. These projects are categorised on the 5 year Capital Programme as projects due to go to construction in 2013. There will be some delay in the project mentioned by the Deputy going to construction and the Department is in contact with the school to ensure that there is sufficient accommodation for September 2013.
