Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 April 2013
277. Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the delay with regard to a school building project in Edenderry, County Offaly; if he will ensure that every effort will be made to ensure that suitable accommodation is in place for the commencement of the school year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18741/13]
View answerResponsibility for the delivery of the school referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to the Office of Public Works. The OPW have recently forwarded a tender report for this school project to the Department and the Department is currently, with the OPW, considering these documents. The school project is being progressed so that the accommodation required for the school will be provided at the earliest possible date within the Department's five year construction programme. My Department is in contact with the school to ensure that there is sufficient accommodation for September 2013.
