The project to which the Deputy refers is being delivered under a "design and build" model and has been tendered. The award process has commenced. It is anticipated that the Letter of Acceptance (i.e. the award of the contract) will be issued in the coming days and that planning permission will be lodged in October.

Until the award process is finalised and subsequent statutory approvals are received it is not possible to confirm when this project will be completed. My Department is liaising closely with County Dublin VEC on the delivery of this project and the accommodation requirements for Donabate.
