Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2017
166. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the letter of acceptance has issued to the successful contractor for the Maynooth education campus; when contracts will be signed; when construction will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20975/17]
View answerThe delivery of the two new post-primary schools have been devolved to Kildare and Wicklow Education & Training Board (ETB). I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the preferred contractor responded to the Letter of Intent on the 21 March last. The documentation provided on foot of the Letter of Intent, is currently being examined by the ETB's Design Team and their insurers.
Assuming that the contractor has complied with the requirements of the Letter of Intent, the ETB have also been authorised to issue the Letter of Acceptance and it is envisaged that this will happen shortly.
