Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2023
333. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Education when the new school building project for a school (details supplied) will commence; the timeline for completion of the project; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22750/23]
View answerThe major school building project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Louth County Council.
I am pleased to advise that approval to issue the Letter of Acceptance to the preferred tenderer was sanctioned by my Department in April 2023. This Stage 4 approval now allows the project to proceed to Construction Stage. It is envisaged that works will begin onsite in the coming weeks.
It is a matter for Louth County Council, as the client for the project, to ensure that the project commences on site and is completed in accordance with the building programme for works.
