When Carillion collapsed in January five schools and one college of further education were left in real uncertainty. Two of the schools are in my constituency of Wicklow. The Minister for Education and Skills came into the House and informed it that there would be no delays whatsoever in resolving the issue, other than perhaps a week or two. However, it is now March and there is still total uncertainty. Last week the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA, briefed the principals of the schools as well as some Deputies, and outlined the public tendering process that is in place. The closing date for tenders is 5 April. It is now anticipated that work will not recommence on those schools until late June and possibly July. Two of the schools are complete but given the timeframe outlined it is a reasonable expectation that they will remain completely closed until September at the earliest.
