Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 July 2018
141. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding payment to persons who have carried out work on projects funded by the State (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28806/18]
View answerLike other major construction projects, school building projects involve a complex arrangement of contractual relationships between the client, the main contractor and various sub-contractors and suppliers. In general, all sub-contractors and suppliers engaged on education sector building projects are employed directly by the main contractor, or indirectly by the main contractor through other sub-contractors.
My Department is not party to these contractual arrangements and does not have any role or authority in relation to payment or other contractual issues arising in the circumstances set out by the Deputy in the details supplied.
