Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 7 September 2018
372. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Education and Skills if additional funding will be committed to in order to enable the completion of necessary construction works at schools (details supplied) in County Cork. [36760/18]
View answerThe projects referred to by the Deputy, which have been devolved to Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) for delivery, were impacted by the liquidation of Sammon Contracting Ireland Ltd.
Officials in my Department have engaged with CETB, to whom these projects are devolved, to ensure that the projects are completed as quickly as possible while also ensuring that the quality and integrity of the projects is fully protected. My Department is fully committed to ensuring these projects are completed in that respect, including through the provision of additional funding if necessary.
