Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
578. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education if she will expedite the provision of instructions to a school (details supplied) advising them of their current construction projects so that they might proceed to the tender stage. [17686/23]
View answerThe school referenced by the Deputy was granted funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme to build 1 x 80m2 General Classroom with User Assisted WC and 2 x 15m2 SET Rooms.
My Department can confirm that a Stage 2b Report was received in Quarter 1 2023 and forwarded to the Professional & Technical Team for review.
However, the school had a subsequent query in relation to the inclusion of a new septic tank in their application.
A representative from the Department was in direct communication with the school regarding this. My Department is still awaiting clarification from the school as to whether they wish to incorporate this provision in their application.
The matter now rests with the school to advise the Department accordingly.
