303. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a new school development (details supplied) in County Kildare; if there are any outstanding issues in regard to the proposal that could hold up the project; if so, the mechanism being applied to overcome such problems; if not, when the commencement notice will be served to the council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13099/14]
View answerThe school building project referred to by the Deputy is on the 5 year construction programme announced in 2012. It is listed on the programme for construction in 2015/16. The appointment of the Design Team is currently being finalised. Once appointed the Design Team will be asked to provide the Department with a Detailed Project Programme which will set out how the project will be delivered within the required time period. It is not possible for the Department to advise the Deputy on when the commencement notice will be served to the council until such time as the Programme has been prepared and agreed with the Department.
