Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2020
536. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Education the progress being made in providing an extension in one phase to a school (details supplied); the reason for the delay; the likely timeframe for the project; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36857/20]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB).
My Department approved the project to proceed to Stage 2(a) of the architectural planning process which is the developed design stage. It is a matter for the ETB, as the client for the project, to ensure that this is completed as quickly as possible. Once the Stage 2(a) submission is approved by my Department, the next step for the ETB's Design Team will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals. When these are in place, the project can proceed to tender and construction. It is not possible at this stage to provide a timeline for the completion of the project.
