115. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Education if planning permission is required for infrastructure (details supplied). [39032/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme.
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that planning permission has been secured for the construction of the required road network. My Department and its Project Managers are engaging with a third party contractor regarding the road network which will have to be constructed by that party in parallel with the schools building projects and both parties will be jointly engaging further with Cork County Council regarding a joint Construction programme as is required under the conditions of the grant of planning permission.
My Department is currently putting in place a Contractor’s Framework to which D&B projects can be tendered. It is intended that the project for the Carrigtwohill campus will be tendered to this framework early in 2021.
