Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
1137. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education the status of an extension for a school (details supplied) in Bray, County Wicklow; the estimated timeframe from start to completion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41328/22]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently is currently at Stage 2a – Developed Design, where the preferred option design is developed to a stage where the project is fully costed and can be prepared to lodge for statutory approvals.
Upon receipt and review of the Stage 2(a) report, an end of Stage 2(a) Stakeholders meeting will be arranged between the School Authorities, Design Team, Project Manager and officials from my Department. Following that milestone meeting, my Department will be in contact with the School and its Design Team regarding the further progression of the project to Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design, where the applications for Statutory Approvals are made, and the tender documents are prepared.
Until the statutory approvals have been secured, it is difficult to provide a timeframe for this project to progress to tender and construction stages.
