132. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education and Skills when stage 2B of the process in relation to the building of a new school (details supplied) will be complete; the reason for the delay with this stage of the project; when it is intended to go to tender with this school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23563/13]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The Department is in receipt of the Stage 2(b) submission from the Design Team.
Following a review of the submission the Design Team were requested to review significant cost overruns. This work included the carrying out of additional site surveys.
An addendum to the report was recently received from the Design Team and is under review by my Department. Once this review is complete my Department will be in contact with the Design Team and the school authority regarding the further progression of the project.
