Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 January 2016
404. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding has been approved, tenders completed and contractors appointed for the refurbishment of a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; why she has not yet issued the letter to approve the commencement of works, given the length of time teachers, pupils and parents have been waiting for them to start; when this letter will issue; and when the works will commence. [2711/16]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, in the management of a capital programme, periodically it is necessary to review the scheduling of construction projects within the overall programme. In this context, my Department is currently conducting an expenditure profiling exercise, which will determine when projects, including the project referred to by the Deputy, can advance to site. When the expenditure profiling is complete, the Department will be in contact with the school in relation to the further progression of the project.
