Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2019
157. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to appoint a clerk of works on all the projects on the current status of large-scale projects list being delivered under the school building programme; if some smaller schools or extensions will not have a clerk of works appointed or sanctioned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20503/19]
View answerI can confirm that a Clerk of Works is appointed on all large scale school building projects, including Major Devolved Projects.
In respect of Additional Accommodation Scheme projects, applications for the provision of funding for Clerks of Works are considered on a case-by-case basis. In that respect, there are projects under that scheme that do not have a Clerk of Works appointed or sanctioned. This policy is currently under review.
