Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Batt O’Keeffe):
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that on 29 September, I announced that the project in question could proceed. A tender report for the school building project referred to by the Deputy was previously received by my Department.
As the Deputy will be aware however, from February 2008 all Capital Works Projects must use the new Government Construction Contracts Committee (GCCC) Forms of Construction Contracts for Public Works and, as a result, it will be necessary to re-tender the project. Officials in my Department will be in contact with the school authorities regarding the re-tendering process.
