Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 June 2018
412. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding completion of a site acquisition and the process for commencing the pre-qualification process in respect of a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25229/18]
View answerLegal representatives for both parties are working together with a view to concluding the conveyancing. All parties are working to ensure the acquisition completes at the earliest possible date and at this point it is not anticipated that the completion of conveyancing will impact on the timelines for delivery of the building project.
In regard to the pre-qualification process, authorisation was issued to the school's Design Team on 22nd May 2018 to commence this process in order to draw up short-lists of contractors for the project. Pre-qualification normally takes between 8 and 12 weeks to complete. When pre-qualification is complete the project will then be progressed to tender stage.
