Ceist:183 Mr. Doherty asked the Minister for Education the year construction will commence on the proposed new Cloontuskert national school, Lanesboro, County Roscommon. [19973/96]
Written Answers. - Cloontuskert (Roscommon) School.
A building project at Cloontuskert, Lanesboro, County Longford, was included in my Department's 1995 building programme. The inclusion of the project in the programme enables the project to progress through the planning process. This project is at advanced architectural planning stage and planning permission was obtained in September 1996. At present, my Department's architectural service is in the process of preparing the tender documentation. In parallel, my Department will be inviting contractors and sub-contractors to apply for inclusion on a pre-qualification tender list shortly. When this process is complete, a decision will be taken on the timing of the tender and contract process in the light of available resources. It is not possible at this stage to state when construction will commence.
