Written answers

The major building project for St Patrick’s Special School Enniscorthy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b), which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate and the preparation of Tender Documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.

The Design Team have been requested to review the impact of the changes to the Public Works Contracts (PWC) and to revert to the Department with an assessment of what, if any, additional works are required to bring the tender documents into line with those changes.

Once the Stage 2b (Detailed Design) submission is received and reviewed by the Department and subject to no further issues arising officials from the Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.
