Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
975. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for Education the reason for the latest move in temporary accommodation for a school (details supplied); when the school will receive more information on a permanent site; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18763/21]
View answerMy Department has no plans to move the interim accommodation of the school to which the Deputy refers from its current location where it will remain pending delivery of its permanent school project.
The permanent project referred to by the Deputy has reached the final contract award stage of the tender process. The assessment of tenders has concluded and following post-tender clarifications, a Letter of Intent (LOI) is expected to issue in the coming days to the preferred tenderer. This will allow the preferred tenderer to put in place the Bond, Insurances, and confirmations of all legal arrangements required under the Contract. My Department will keep the Board of Management informed as the project progresses into the construction stage.
