Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2022
284. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education if she will provide an update on the plans for new school buildings for schools (details supplied), including a timeframe for the commencement of construction and completion of works. [47337/22]
View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that the building project for the school to which he refers has now been devolved for delivery to Donegal Education and Training Board (DETB).
A Design Team for the project was appointed in July 2022. This team will now design the buildings, obtain the necessary statutory planning permissions, and move the project to procurement and construction stage. As the project is at an early stage in the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion. DETB will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
