Claims due for work completed on the extension of the Mercy Convent Secondary School, Dungarvan, County Waterford, have been met as they arose in the course of the contract.
However, in mid-November a claim was made which brought the total amount to a figure in excess of 75 per cent of the grant payable at that stage under the scheme for the payment of building grants to secondary schools. An interim payment was made on 10 December, pending a detailed examination of any additional amounts which might be due in respect of allowable increase costs under the price variation clause of the contract.
