112. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Education and Skills the proposed schedule and timetable for completion of the proposed new combined secondary school in Skibbereen, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41659/13]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers is among a range of schools earmarked for delivery through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) process. The PPP process forms a central part of the Government's overall economic stimulus package. This specific school was identified for inclusion in Schools Bundle 4 of the PPP process in July 2012. The procurement process for this bundle of schools has begun. At present, construction of the overall bundle is on target to commence in late 2014. Completion of construction should occur in 2016.
