463. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills the progress being made with the funding and construction of a school building project (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; the position regarding each project; the timeframe for completion of each stage; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37850/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe main building project for the first school to which the Deputy refers is included in my Department's five year construction programme to proceed to Tender and Construction in 2015/16. All statutory approvals have been received and the Design Team are currently working on the Stage 2b (Detailed design) tender documents for submission to the Department for review and approval. When the stage 2(b) submission has been received and assessed my Department will then be in touch with the school authorities regarding the progression of the project to tender stage. My Department has no record of receiving a recent application for a building project from the second school referred to by the Deputy.
