Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 April 2016
102. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of a proposed building project to increase capacity at a school (details supplied) in County Wexford; when it will proceed to the next stage; when the tendering process will commence and be completed; when construction will commence; the funding she will allocate; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7925/16]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, the building project for the school to which he refers is included in the 6 year construction programme that I announced last November. Officials in my Department are working closely with officials from Wexford County Council under the memorandum of understanding in order to identify and acquire a suitable permanent location for the school. The school's current accommodation will be considered as part of this process in the context of suitability as a long term solution and value for money. Once the permanent location has been acquired, then the project to deliver the school will advance into architectural planning.
