Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The project for the school referred to by the Deputy is one of 122 major school projects to proceed to tender and construction over the next 12 to 15 months. My Department's building unit held general information meetings for all these schools to guide them through the process involved in moving projects to tender and construction. These meetings took place on 31 January and 1 February in Tullamore and the school in question attended the meeting. My Department expects to be in contact with the school in the coming weeks in relation to the delivery of this project.
