Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 October 2013
85. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress to date with the provision of a new school building for Clifden community school, when it is expected construction will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43631/13]
View answerThe major building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, stage 2(b). The project was included in the 'Investment in Infrastructure & Jobs' Programme announced in June 2013.
A Revised Stage 2b (Detailed Design) submission is expected shortly from the Design Team for review by my Department and will include a prequalified list of contractors. On satisfactory completion of stage 2 (b) and assuming no further issues arise, authorisation will then be given to proceed to tender and construction.
