Mary Lou McDonald
Question:515. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the contract between the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB) and Castlethorn Construction to build the Adamstown community college and adjoining sports hall in Lucan in County Dublin was a public private partnership; the details of the original funding agreement between her Department, the DDLETB and the contractor; the amount of central government funding agreed for this project; the portion of this funding that has been drawn down to date by the DDLETB, and paid to the contractor; the reason the adjoining sports hall has not been built; her views on whether the original terms of the contract between the DDLETB and Castlethorn have been breached; if penalties were incurred, and if so, by whom; the efforts she is making to ensure the completion of this project; and her views on whether it is acceptable that a school, as large as this, has been left for such a long time with no adequate sports facility.
