[10628/17]
View answerI am pleased to be able to inform the Deputy that all aspects of the tendering process for the Maynooth Education campus project have been satisfactorily completed and my Department gave approval to the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board on 27th February last to issue a Letter of Intent to award a contract to the preferred bidder.
The conditions contained in the Letter of Intent relate to the usual proofs required from a Contractor in relation Tax Clearance, Insurances, Bond etc. Assuming that the preferred bidder can comply with these requirements, my Department would expect the project to be on site in a few months’ time.
