Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

As the Deputy is aware, a project for the schools to which he refers is included in my Department's building programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP) 6-Year Construction Programme.

In the context of progressing the building project, my Department intends undertaking a technical site visit to the schools in question. My Department has been engaging with the school authorities relating to the preparatory work associated with the site visit and will be in further in this regard shortly.
