Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
209. Deputy Frank O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education and Skills if tender documents have been issued to the relevant contractors on schedule, as per 8 November 2018 being specified in the agreed programme for completion in regard to a project (details supplied); if so, the timeline for the stages of completion of the schools building project; the new estimated date for completion; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46547/18]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the project to which he refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB).
I am pleased to be able to inform the Deputy that completion of the envelope of the two school buildings will commence shortly as part of an arrangement with the Bondsman. This welcome development will weather the buildings and form a neat finish-out package for a new main contractor. That package will be tendered to contractors that have been pre-qualified by the Design Team shortly. The completion date for the project is June 2020 and the Design Team’s programme to achieve this is on track.
