In January, the collapse of Carillion exposed the Government's use of public private partnerships. That was in January. We are now in May, five months later. There is still real uncertainty for the five schools, one third level education facility and the users of those facilities as to what the future holds for them. The Minister said that there would be no delays in delivering these schools. One in my constituency, Coláiste Ráithín, is complete and ready for occupation. The only thing holding it back is red tape. We were told that we had to go through a new tendering process. We were supposed to have a decision on that on the 28th of last month. New contractors were due to be appointed.
