Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the contractor responded to the Letter of Intent on the 21 March last. The response received, is currently being examined by the ETB's Design Team.

Assuming that the contractor has complied with the requirements of the Letter of Intent, it is envisaged that construction will commence on site shortly.
