Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2019
51. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if there are specific barriers preventing a school (details supplied) which was granted an extension and refurbishment ten years ago from progressing to the tender stage of the project. [2641/19]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, the project to which she refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education & Training Board (DDLETB). The Department is currently liaising with DDLETB with a view to resolving some issues that have arisen in respect of the project. These issues need to be addressed prior to proceeding to tender stage.
My Department acknowledges that the delivery of this project has taken longer than originally envisaged. I want to assure the Deputy that when the remaining issues are resolved my Department will be giving approval for the project to proceed to tender and construction.
