Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2492. Deputy Jan O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection her plans in conjunction with the OPW in relation to accommodation in terms of the total contributions approach project in Sligo; if tenders have been awarded to building contractors for the work on-site; the estimated date of completion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33375/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe total contributions approach to the calculation of State Pensions Contributory is a priority project for my Department.
In conjunction with the OPW my Department has identified space in the Department’s offices at College Road in Sligo that can be made available for staff working on the project. Requests for tenders have issued from OPW in respect of the construction and mechanical & engineering works required to fit-out the space for this purpose.
Following evaluation of the tenders it is expected that OPW will be in a position to award contracts for the work and until then it is not possible to be definitive on a date of completion.
The current estimated completion date is late September 2018.
