Schools Building Projects
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-13
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I thank the Deputy. I appreciate the need to expedite these projects and to commence them as soon as possible. I also appreciate how important they are. The Department has done considerable work to progress the projects despite the pressures of Covid-19 and the impact this has had on advancing projects. We were fortunate in the Department of Education in that we were able to continue with the provision of school buildings as an essential service. As the Deputy has acknowledged, we were also able to continue notifying schools as regards developments in both the short and long term. With regard to the specific timelines and targets to be met, I will ensure he is given specific information as regards the particular schools he referenced. My officials will make that available to him.
