Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
458. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education to provide an update on a school building project (details supplied); the stage the project is currently at; the estimated timeframe from construction to completion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36307/23]
View answerMy Department is currently developing the accommodation brief for the school referred to by the Deputy.
I wish to advise the Deputy that there are standard procedures to be followed in relation to the progression of a project which involve finalising the project brief, preliminary design, the appointment of a Design Team, detailed design, planning permission and then ultimately proceeding to tender and construction. Given the scale and nature of the project and the unknowns in relation to planning permission, it is not possible at this stage, to provide a definitive timeline for the overall campus project.
My Department will continue to engage directly with the school patron as part of this process.
