106. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 1239 of 22 September 2015, in relation to a school (details supplied) in Dublin 9, if the contract for the repair of a roof, etc has been signed and agreed; if work has started; the length of time work should take; and if she is aware that the temporary arrangements have a limited time planning approval.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the roof repair forms part of the school's proposed major building project. In this regard, the school will commence the Design Team appointment process in the coming weeks. The Project Manager has already been appointed and has carried out a site visit to the school.

Until planning permission and all statutory approvals have been secured, it is not possible to give a definitive date for the commencement of the construction stage. It is however my Department's intention to progress the school's building project as expeditiously as possible having regard to the normal technical and statutory requirements.

The Deputy will be aware that because the school was forced to vacate the school building, it had of necessity to secure temporary accommodation pending the restoration of the school building and the provision of additional permanent accommodation.
