Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2024
253. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Education the cost to the State so far of the school building (details supplied); to outline any security or ancillary costs separately; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7443/24]
View answerThe project for the school in question is currently part of a dispute resolution mechanism under the contract.
My Department is liaising with the school authority in relation to the conciliation process regarding the matters that were in dispute with the former contractor. My Department is also working on the arrangements for the completion of this project as quickly as possible by a new contractor.
Given both the legal and procurement matters involved, it is not appropriate at this stage to provide the detailed cost information requested by the Deputy.
