Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 April 2009
718 Deputy Charlie O’Connor asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress on matters previously raised by this Deputy in respect of problems relating to the building programme at a school (details supplied) in Dublin 24; if his attention has been drawn to the concern of the school community that these matters be progressed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15746/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I have indicated to the Deputy on previous occasions, my Department became aware of some difficulties with the project on this school when it was nearing completion. Since then, officials from my Department have been in ongoing contact with the parties with the express aim of having the project completed satisfactorily in accordance with the contract and at best value to the taxpayer. In this regard, in recent weeks, I have written to the school authority in question regarding the building project at the school. In addition, officials from my Department have written to the school authority and have also visited the school in question.
My Department will continue to work with the school authority and the other parties involved with a view to ensuring a satisfactory outcome to the current situation and the completion of the project.
