Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 December 2015
567. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for new permanent accommodation for a school (details supplied) in County Cavan, including when this project will proceed to the next stage; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46192/15]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at Stage 2(a), developed design stage of the architectural planning process. The Design Team are currently finalising the Stage 2(a) Report.
Upon successful completion of Stage 2(a) and subject to no issues arising, the project will be authorised to complete Stage 2(b) which includes securing Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert, the preparation of tender documents and prequalification of contractors.
As the Deputy is aware on Tuesday 17th November 2015 I announced details of the major school building projects where construction is expected to commence over the next 6 years. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the major project for this school is included in this plan and is scheduled to commence construction in 2016. Information in respect of all projects on this 6 year plan is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
