Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2022
435. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Education if she will provide an update on the status of a proposed new school under the strategic development zone, SDZ, for an area (details supplied); if she can provide a timeline for the delivery of the school; and if the project will be expedited given the rapidly increasing population in the area. [51448/22]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects. The NDFA is currently undertaking the process of appointment of multi-disciplinary technical advisors (design teams) for these projects. Thereafter, it will ensure that the project progresses to design stage, obtains the necessary statutory planning permission, and moves the project onward to tender and construction in due course.
It is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project at this early stage.
