Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2016
187. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the detailed design and tender documents for a school (details supplied) have been submitted to his Department; when tenders will be invited for the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29788/16]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2b - Detailed Design, which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of Tender Documents.
A decision to grant planning permission for the project was issued by the Local Authority on 4 July 2016.
The Design Team is currently finalising the applications for the Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate for submission to the Local Authority.
Once all statutory approvals are secured the Design Team will then complete the Stage 2(b) report for submission to my Department and following review of that report my officials will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project.
