As the Deputy may be aware, the project to which he refers is being delivered on my Department's behalf by school’s local authority. The local authority recently notified officials that the project is currently some 6 to 8 weeks behind schedule and that a recent works programme provided by the Contractor indicated a completion date in 2019.
My Department instructed the local authority to inform the contractor that it expects a programme of works that sees the project completed well before the end of 2018. A revised programme to reflect this requirement is awaited. The local authority and its Design Team, with the support of my Department, will persist in pursuing the contractor for as speedy a delivery of this project as possible.
My Department understands that the local authority is keeping the school informed of developments and this will continue to be the case.
