92. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Education and Skills the issues causing a delay in a school (details supplied) proceeding to construction; the actions that can be taken to ensure this project proceeds to construction immediately and that the extension and renovation works are complete by September 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42082/18]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning – Stage 2b (Detailed Design) which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been secured.
The Design Team has issued a Brief Change Request to the Department which is currently under review. On completion of the review of the Brief Change Request, the Design Team will proceed to complete work on the stage 2(b) submission.
Upon receipt and review of the Stage 2(b) Submission, my Department will revert to Dublin Dún Laoghaire Educational and Training Board with regard to the further progression of this project at that time.
