The project referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan.
The major building project is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2b – Detailed Design, which includes securing Planning Permission, Fire Certificate and Disability Access Certificate and the preparation of tender documents.
The review of the Stage 2(b) submission has been completed by my Department and comments have issued requesting the Design team to carry out one final review of the tender documentation taking on board my Department's comments.
The Design Team has completed the pre-qualification process to produce a shortlist of building contractors.
An enabling works process must be completed prior to the project progressing to Tender Stage 3. Those enabling works are being carried out in conjunction with the ESB. Upon completion of the enabling works, my Department will contact the Board of Management in relation to the progression of the major project.
