Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2017
164. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills when tender documents will be prepared for a school (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that planning permission for the new school was granted on 21 April 2017; the timeframe for completing the project; the expected opening date for the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20971/17]
View answerThe delivery of the project referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board for delivery. As the Deputy is aware planning permission has recently been granted for this project.
The ETB are currently reviewing the planning conditions to evaluate any possible implications on design and cost. Once this evaluation has been completed the ETB will submit a Stage 2B cost check to my Department for approval and complete the preparation of tender documents. It is not possible at this stage to give a date for the opening of the new school building.
