Question:

173 Mr. Jacob asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the hardship and disadvantages being experienced by both teachers and pupils due to the lengthy delay in proceeding with the new primary school at Brittas Bay, County Wicklow; and if she will, as a matter of urgency, ensure that measures are taken to expedite the process in order that building work can commence. [6775/97]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

I am aware of the need for a new primary school building for Brittas Bay, County Wicklow. The current position on the project is that contract documents will be ready in about one month's time. At that stage, a decision on the timing of the tender and contract process will be taken in the light of available funding.
