Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 December 2022
52. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Education the progress that has been made, from the date of the original application to date, on the construction of a school (details supplied); the reason for the delays, if any, in progressing the application; the expected commencement date for the construction of the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [61109/22]
View answerA major building project for the school in question has been devolved for delivery to Louth County Council.
I am pleased to inform the deputy that the Department recently authorised Louth County Council to issue the Letter of Intent to the preferred tenderer. If all is in order with the Supplementary Tender Report that follows, a Letter of Acceptance will then issue. This will facilitate commencement of construction work by the preferred tenderer in the near future.
The project is with Louth County Council to progress at this time.
