287. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Education if she will provide a timeline on the delivery of a new school building (details supplied) in County Meath; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26133/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered by my Department’s Design and Build programme which uses a professional external Project Management team to progress the project through the stages of architectural planning, tendering and construction.
The project proceeded to tender on 18th April 2023 as part of a bundle of projects which issued to a Framework of Design & Build Contractors.
The tender process currently takes approximately 8-10 months. Once a Contractor has been appointed, it is anticipated that construction would commence shortly thereafter.
