The Receiver and Manager appointed to the project to which the Deputy refers has confirmed that he does not wish to complete the project.

My officials are managing the situation and have been liaising with the Design Team, the Receiver, the Bondsman and the school authorities.

It is the Department's intention to have this project back on site as soon as possible, in accordance with public procurement procedures. In this regard it is anticipated that the project will go out to tender in the coming weeks.
