Vol. 449 No. 7
176 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Education the reason for the delay in paying the final instalment of money due to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; when payment will be made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4448/95]
The final account for this project is at present being examined by my Department's professional advisers. This process will be completed as soon as possible and the appropriate final payment made to the contractor. The delay in dealing with this matter is due in great part to the failure of the contractor to provide a final account for the completed project, despite numerous requests to do so.
