Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can absolutely give Deputy Howlin that assurance. The NDFA and the Department of Education and Skills are very much involved. We will do everything we can in the next couple of days to have this issue resolved in a matter of weeks so that the children and their teachers can move into these fabulous new school buildings. We have a statement from the Dutch Infrastructure Fund explaining that the collapse of its partner happened more quickly than expected and that said collapse came as a surprise. It also says that its top priority is to resolve this complex situation as quickly as possible. There will be a delay while it deals with the subcontractors and other stakeholders in the project.
