Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
401. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the project to provide a school (details supplied) with a new school building; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24724/16]
View answerThe building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. All statutory approvals have been obtained and the Stage 2b submission has been approved by my Department. This project was included in the 6 Year Programme announced on 17th November 2015 to progress to tender and construction.
Arising from significant changes to the Public Works Contract (PWC) introduced earlier this year, the Board of Management and their Design Team have been advised of the need to carry out further work in relation to the tender documents to bring them into line with those changes. When this work is complete my Department will be in further contact with the school regarding the progression of the project.
