91. Deputy Pat The Cope Gallagher asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide a progress report for a school (details supplied); the progress made to date; the timeline for the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42109/18]
View answerThe major building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2b – Detailed Design, which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been obtained.
The Design Team is currently working on a submission to my Department outlining the steps required to achieve compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations 2017 and the timescale for completing adjustments to the tender documents. On receipt and review of this submission, my Department will revert to school with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.
