Jackie Cahill

Ceist:

160. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason the ASD unit at a school (details supplied) has been delayed in view of the fact all works have been completed at stage 2(a) in the process, including the obtaining of planning permission, fire certificates and disability access certificates; the way in which it will be progressed to stage 2(b) to allow the building go to e-tenders; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

The Deputy will be aware that the project to which he refers has been devolved for delivery to the school under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme.

I wish to clarify for the Deputy that my Department received a Stage 2b report from the school in question. My Department has sought clarification on the costings set out in that report and awaits the school's response to same.
