Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
449. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Education and Skills the current stage of construction of schools (details supplied); the estimated date on which construction work will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25540/16]
View answerThe major school building project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b). All statutory approvals have been secured.
However, following the appointment of a replacement Mechanical & Electrical Engineer the Design Team, in association with the newly appointed Engineer, is working on a revised M&E report which will be submitted to the Department when it is completed. My Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report. It is not possible at this time to give a more indicative timeline for when construction is expected to commence.
