Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2008
588 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 376 of 14 October 2008, the cost to date to his Department in terms of all architectural structural engineering and contractual fees which have been paid in respect of each of the schools currently on the school building and modernisation programme from approval stage to the tender stage; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35599/08]
View answerCurrently there are over 360 major projects in architectural planning, the vast majority of which would have incurred design team fees to date. Fees are paid on approval of individual design stages and could occur over a number of years as a project progresses through the stages. Given the number of projects involved, it would require an inordinate amount of staff time to assemble the requested information. However, if the Deputy wishes to clarify the situation in respect of individual cases then I would be happy to provide him with the information.
