Minister for Education and Skills

As the Deputy may be aware, the project to which he refers has been devolved for delivery to Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB).

The pre-qualification process for the project has now been completed by KWETB. Approval has been given for KWETB to proceed to issue tender documents to the shortlisted contractors in that respect. These can be expected to issue before the end of this quarter.

At this point, it is not possible to provide an accurate timeline either for completion of the tender process or for completion of any later stages of the project.
