Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 May 2023
266. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Education if she will provide an update on a new school building project (details supplied); if she will provide an estimated timeframe from construction to completion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25612/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, a major building project for the school to which he refers is included on the Department's school building programme and is currently at project brief stage.
There are standard procedures to be followed in relation to the progression of a building project, which involve finalising the project brief, the appointment of a Design Team, preliminary design, detailed design, planning permission and then ultimately proceeding to tender and construction. It is not therefore possible at this stage to provide an estimated timeframe for this project.
My Department will continue to engage directly with the school authority as part of this process.
