Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
959. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the progress on a new building for a primary school (details supplied) in County Dublin; the reason for the delay in sanctioning the move to the new building, as the school was originally advised of this in 2005; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37754/15]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department remains committed to providing permanent accommodation for the school in question. It is my Department's intention that this school will relocate to the premises currently occupied by the other school referenced by the Deputy upon construction of a new school for the latter. The school building project for this school is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2(b). All statutory applications have been granted and the design team are in the process of completing stage 2(b) tender documentation. Once the Stage 2b Tender documentation is submitted, my Department will carry out its review and subject to no further issues arising the project will then progress to tender and construction stages.
