Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
431. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if tenders have been invited for a project (details supplied); if so, the closing date for receipt of tenders; when construction of the new school is likely to commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1529/18]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the project to which she refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB).
Planning permission has been received for the project which is at the detailed design stage. In this regard, the Stage 2B submission was recently submitted to my Department for examination. The outcome of this examination will be conveyed to the ETB as soon as it is available. As the project is still in architectural planning, it is not possible to say at this stage when it will proceed to invitation of tenders or construction.
