Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 November 2020
132. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education the status of the new primary school building in Charlesland, Greystones, County Wicklow (details supplied); and the stage discussions are at with her Department and the contractor regarding the handover of the new school building. [35624/20]
View answerOn the specific matters that have impacted the handover of the building, my Department is taking the appropriate steps to ensure it is completely satisfied that the building is fit for handover prior to accepting it. My Department is engaging with the contractor in this regard under the appropriate terms of the public works contract. Some communication was received from the contractor on 30 September and was reviewed and assessed. That communication was deemed inadequate and a further notice issued to the contractor in October. A response was received at the end of October and this is being considered. While this process is underway, my Department will not make any further comment other than to say that we are expediting this as quickly as possible
