Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2020
447. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills the timeline for the refurbishment and new buildings for a school (details supplied); when these works will be completed; the level of priority these works are assigned; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14317/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy may be aware that the project to which he refers has been devolved to Dublin & Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB) for delivery.
My Department is fully aware of the need to urgently progress this project. However, it is of the utmost importance that the final outcome will be the correct one for both the school authority and the pupils. In that regard, I would like to inform the Deputy that, arising from its due diligence in respect of the preparation of the revised pre-qualification process for this project, DDLETB has carried out a review of the project which puts forward an alternative option for progressing it. A report has been received from DDLETB in that respect. This report is being reviewed by my Department and due consideration given to the proposals set out therein.
