Returning to an issues that has been raised repeatedly on Questions on Promised Legislation this week, which highlights its importance, O'Carolan College in Nobber is one of the 58 schools where planning is due to expire in early February 2024 so it is time-sensitive. The school needs to have substantial works completed by that stage. It was at the point of approving a contractor when it received that notice along with 57 other schools. The Taoiseach has said that the projects will proceed. Can the Tánaiste reassure to parents and everyone affected such as students that this project will proceed and will not be delayed further? When will a decision be made? Will it be in Easter week?
