Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2024
283. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education how long after the tender is awarded that construction will or can start for a project such as a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2560/24]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers, is devolved for delivery to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB). The large scale project provides for an extension to the existing school, the demolition of a section of the building and the refurbishment of some of the existing buildings.
KWETB will submit the Stage 2b report for review once the necessary statutory planning permissions have been obtained, after which the project will progress to tender stage in due course.
At this stage, it is not possible to provide an accurate timeline for completion of the project. KWETB will continue to engage directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
