Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2020
820. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education if she will provide clarity regarding a new school (details supplied) in County Wicklow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33778/20]
View answerThe building referred to by Deputy has not yet been handed over. My Department is taking appropriate steps to ensure that it is completely satisfied that the building is fit for handover prior to accepting it. There is currently an engagement underway between my Department and the Contractor in this regard under the contract. Communications are ongoing and the issue is being actively addressed.
Until this process is complete, it will not be possible to provide definitive timelines for occupation of the building. However, as this process develops my Department officials will keep the ETB and the school managements informed of developments
