Question:

161. Deputy Pat Casey asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of schools building projects (details supplied) based on time to proceed to construction, type of accommodation to be provided and the projected budget allocation, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9165/17]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that the current status of the building projects to which he refers in the details supplied are outlined in the table.

I also wish to advise the Deputy that until such time as planning permission has been secured, or the building projects have progressed to and completed tender stage and the appointment of a building contractor, it will not be possible to provide an indicative timeframe or cost for the completion of the construction of these projects.

While the first two projects listed on the table are under construction and are being delivered under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) process, my Department does not give a value for schools delivered under the PPP process, as they are part of a bundle and the capital cost of individual schools is considered commercially sensitive and not disclosed.
