Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
551. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education for an update on the extension for a school (details supplied); when a contractor will be appointed; the timeframe for completion of the project; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48640/23]
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. This school is in the bundle referred to as ‘Project Boyne’.
The project is currently at Stage 2B of the architectural process and planning permission has been granted. Upon receipt, review and approval of the Stage 2B report, the next stage is tendering for a contractor and then onwards to construction in due course.
It is not possible to provide a date for the completion of the project in advance of the outcome of the procurement process. The NDFA will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress throughout.
