Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 February 2014
129. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the works promised for a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9096/14]
View answerA major capital project for the school, to which the Deputy refers, involving an extension and refurbishment of the existing school building, which is a protected structure, is currently being advanced in architectural planning.
I wish to advise the Deputy that a significant element of the architectural design work has been completed and the project is being advanced through the remaining stages of the architectural planning process. In that context, when all elements of Stage 2(b) for this project have been completed and assessed, my Department will then be in touch with the school authorities regarding the potential progression of the project to tender and construction subject to the availability of funding at that time.
