Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 June 2016
125. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to expedite a school building project (details supplied); if he recognises the need to accelerate this project, given the deteriorating condition of much of the school's existing accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16550/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the project for the school referred to, is included in the 6 Year Construction Programme that was announced on 17th November last.
I wish to confirm that my Department is due to commence the appointment of a Project Manager for a bundle of schools, including the school referred to by the Deputy, in the coming weeks. Thereafter, a Design Team will be appointed and the project for the school in question will proceed through the architectural planning process. I wish to assure the Deputy that my Department is committed to progressing the project as expeditiously as possible.
