Under the Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, as the Tánaiste is aware, Carillion plc and Carillion Constructed Limited, CCL, in the UK were put into liquidation as a result of their massive financial collapse. The company was engaged in various school-building projects in Ireland as part of a public private partnership in conjunction with the Dutch Infrastructure Fund, DIF. Loreto College in Wexford was planned to open this week. However, this will not happen due to the collapse of Carillion. The principal subcontractor to CCL in Ireland is Sammon Contracting Ireland Ltd, to which G Morgan & Sons Ltd, Ballymakenny Road, Drogheda, County Louth, had been subcontracted to supply school furniture including desks, chairs, technology workbenches, presses, etc. Despite that Loreto College is 100% complete, the subcontractor has not yet been paid for the supply of goods and services to the school. This company has been dealing with primary schools, secondary schools and third level schools for the last 50 years.
