Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 June 2016
99. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has met with the project design team for the Maynooth education campus to address outstanding technical issues in relation to the retendering of the contract; if he has resolved these issues; and when he will retender the contract. [16290/16]
View answerI can confirm that officials have met with Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB) and its Design Team in relation to the Maynooth Education campus project. The technical issues to be resolved were fully discussed and these are in the process of being resolved by the Design team. The other issues of concern with the previous tender related to certain planning conditions and the KWETB is addressing these with the local authority. The intention is to resolve both the technical issues and the planning condition issues in tandem with the pre-qualification of contractors for the project which is envisaged will be advertised in mid-June.
