I am satisfied with the progress achieved by the contractor who is building the extension to this school. The work is taking a little longer than expected due to inclement weather, to delay in the delivery of certain materials, to unfavourable sub-soil conditions and to the need to carry out some additional works.
Is the Minister aware that I am informed by a reliable source that the reason for the delay is that the Minister is waiting for imported timber for the roof?
I gave the Deputy the reasons for the delays.
Inclement weather— it was the best season we had for a long time.
Is imported timber being used to roof the school?
No.
Is Irish timber being used?
I will check that out.
