Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 April 2024
193. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Education for an update on a school building application (details supplied); when the school might expect to be given permission to move to the next stage of the process; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17254/24]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers was approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA) for the provision of 3 general classrooms and 1 SET room.
The project is devolved to the school authority for delivery.
I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has recently received a Stage 3 tender report from the school. This report is currently being reviewed from both a technical and financial perspective. It is not possible at this stage to give a definitive timeline as to when this review will be complete.
Officials at my Department are liaising with the school authority and will provide guidance on the next stage and on how to progress to the next stage once the review is complete.
