Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 December 2021
116. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education when a payment will be issued to the contractor who carried out work in installing temporary accommodation for a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62184/21]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has received a request for payment from the school in question and Department officials are communicating with the school authority regarding same. My Department monitors these payments to ensure that they are paid as promptly as possible.
As the contract is between the school authority and the rental company, my Department has no direct relationship with the contractor in this case. Consequently, the matter will be the subject of direct discussion between the two parties to the contract.
