Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
239. Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will arrange for the urgent approval of stage 2b for a school (details supplied) in order that the new school building project can proceed to tender stage; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26534/16]
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.
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 timeline for the further progression of the project.
