I advise the Deputy that the new school building project in County Galway is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. The design team is preparing to retender the project following difficulties with the first tender exercise. The new pre-qualification of contractors list has been finalised and the revised stage 2b cost plan is currently being examined by my Department. The project is on my Department's five-year construction programme and will soon be progressed through the new tender process. It is anticipated that the design team will shortly be in a position to issue tender documents to the selected contractors and, subject to no issues arising, construction of the new school should commence before the end of 2015.
