To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will correct the record of Dáil Éireann in regard to his response to Parliamentary Question No. 35 of 18 January 2017, specifically in relation to the appointment of the design team and the fact that it was appointed by his Department rather than by the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board (details supplied).

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a comprehensive examination of the Tender Report for the Maynooth post-primary schools project has been completed by my Department’s Professional and Technical staff.  Currently, matters are in hand to complete the necessary Financial Robustness element of the tender process and to update the Cost Benefit Analysis Report with the tender figures for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.  A Letter of Intent to the preferred bidder can issue as soon as these requirements under Public Procurement Procedures have been met and assuming that no issues arise from them.
