Question:

502 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Science the status of a building project for a school (details supplied) in County Roscommon; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32635/06]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The large scale building project for the school referred to by the Deputy was one of the projects I announced in 2005 for proceeding to tender and construction over a 12 to 15 month period. Officials in my Department are currently in the process of arranging a meeting with the school and their Design Team to discuss the revised Stage 3 submission (Developed Sketch Scheme).

When my officials are satisfied that the revised Stage 3 submission is in order, the project will be progressed further with a view to giving devolved authority to the school authorities to progress the project to tender and construction.
