548. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Education the status of the provision of an extension to a primary school (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21329/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe extension refurbishment project for Scoil Mhichil Naofa, Athy, is at an advanced stage of the tender process. The school authority were recently authorised to issue the letter of intent to the preferred tenderer.
My Department is currently awaiting the return of the completed supplementary tender report and when this is received and considered my Department will revert directly to the school authority regarding the progression of the project to construction stage.
Subject to no issues arising during the balance of the tender process it is anticipated that the project will commence late on site late in Quarter 2/early in Quarter 3 with a construction period of approximately 26 months.
