Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1311. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Education and Skills the expected commencement date for construction of a school (details supplied) in County Galway; if the tender process is complete; if all the legal issues with the site are sorted; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31653/15]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, due diligence must apply in relation to any site acquisition.
With regard to the proposed site for the school referred to by the Deputy, issues outside the control of my Department arose during the conveyancing process. These issues have now been addressed which will enable the conveyancing process to be progressed.
In the interim period the Department had been progressing plans for the delivery of the school building. Planning permission has been obtained and assuming no further issues arise, the Department expects to be in a position to advance the project to construction once the conveyancing process has been satisfactorily concluded.
