Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2016
144. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason construction of a new building for a school (details supplied) has been delayed; the stage of the design, planning and build process the project is currently at; when construction will begin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29660/16]
View answerThe major building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b),which includes the applications for the Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate and the preparation of Tender Documents. Planning permission has been secured.
The Design team are currently completing the Stage 2b (Detailed Design) submission which when completed will be submitted to my Department for review. My Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report.
