As the Deputy may be aware, the project to which she refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education & Training Board (DDLETB). The Department is currently liaising with DDLETB with a view to resolving some issues that have arisen in respect of the project. These issues need to be addressed prior to proceeding to tender stage.
My Department acknowledges that the delivery of this project has taken longer than originally envisaged. I want to assure the Deputy that when the remaining issues are resolved my Department will be giving approval for the project to proceed to tender and construction. While it is not possible to say exactly when, it is hoped that these issues will be resolved shortly.
