Minister for Education and Skills

I am aware that the contractor for the project in question has entered into Examinership.

The project has been devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB). 

Officials in my Department are working with the ETB and the contractor to ensure that the project is completed as quickly as possible.
