I propose to answer Questions Nos. 342, 391 and 395 together.
The major school building project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b). All statutory approvals have been secured.
However, following the necessary appointment of a replacement Mechanical & Electrical Engineer the Design Team in association with the newly appointed Engineer are working on a revised MandE report which will be submitted to the Department when it is completed.
Upon receipt and review of the report my Department will revert to the Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.
