To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will advise on the tendering process for building the eight proposed new schools to be funded by the European Investment Bank Private Public Partnership; the conditions of eligibility that will apply; if the process will be open to developers in receipt of assistance through the National Assets Management Agency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to clarify for the Deputy that a preferred tenderer (BAM PPP) was appointed in September 2011 following which planning applications were submitted for each of the sites. Grant of planning was received for the last of the sites in May 2012. The contract was awarded to BAM on Friday 9th November and construction of the eight schools has now commenced.
