Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 March 2015
604. Deputy Michael P. Kitt asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a progress report will be available on the promised new school building (details supplied) in County Galway; when the site will be finalised; when the project will be put out to tender; when construction will begin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13379/15]
View answerOfficials from my Department have been working very closely with Galway County Council under the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department and the County and City Managers' Association to acquire a suitable site for the school referred to by the Deputy.
I can confirm that a suitable site has been identified and the site acquisition process is at an advanced stage. The site acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of the conveyancing process. The tender process has identified a preferred bidder and the contract will commence when the site acquisition is complete.
