Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 November 2018
96. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the redevelopment of school buildings for schools (details supplied) in Dublin 22 will be expedited; if he will provide emergency solutions for those leaking prefabs during the construction of replacement buildings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49305/18]
View answerThe major building project referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2b (Detailed Design). All statutory approvals have been secured.
The Stage 2(b) report was submitted to my Department in late September 2018 and following an initial review was deemed incomplete. The report has been returned to the Design Team for revision, along with guidance comments from my Department. The Design Team is currently completing work on a revised submission.
Upon receipt and review of the revised Stage 2(b) report, my Department will advise the Board of Management of the timeline for the progression of this project to tender and construction.
The School Authorities should apply to my Department for replacement temporary accomodation in order to address their current accomodation needs.
