Question:128 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education when the planning process for a school (details supplied) in County Mayo will be completed; and when the construction stage will commence. [20551/96]
Written Answers. - County Mayo School.
An extension is currently being planned for this school. Architectural planning is proceeding and the bill of quantities for the project has been submitted to the Department. This submission is currently being examined by the Department's technical staff. When the bill of quantities is approved, the question of inviting tenders for the extension will be considered.
Every effort is being made to have the planning of the extension completed as soon as possible with a view to being in a position to invite tenders as soon as funding is available.
The question of allowing the project to proceed to construction can only be considered in the context of the capital allocation for post-primary building purposes in 1997.
