Ceist:223 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for Education if sanction will be given without delay to have specifications drawn up and tenders sought for the building of Gaelscoil na Cille, Cill Dhéagláin, Contae na Mí.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 222 and 223 together.
The preparation of working drawings for the proposed new national school for Gaelscoil na Cille, Cill Dhéagláin, Ashbourne, County Meath is in hands. It is necessary to appoint a quantity surveyor and a structural engineer to prepare bills of quantities and structural drawings respectively for the project and these appointments will be made at an early date.
The full tender documentation will be completed at the earliest possible date and the question of the invitation of tenders will then arise for consideration. I am not in a position at this stage to say precisely when tenders will be invited for the new school.
