Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2015
708. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will facilitate a meeting between her officials and representatives of a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23327/15]
View answerThe Major Building Project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2b - Detailed Design, which includes applications for Planning Permission, Fire Safety Certification, Disability Access Certification and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been received.
A Brief Change Request Submission was received by my Department from the School and their Design Team. It was necessary for my Department to request further information and clarification in relation to this request and this is awaited. Upon receipt of this further information and clarifications and subject to no further issues arising, the Board of Management and their Design Team will be authorised to complete the Stage 2(b) report.
When the response from the School and their Design Team to this request for further information and clarifications is received and assessed my Department will advise the school authority whether or not a meeting might be warranted.
