As the Deputy is aware, the project to which he refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB). It is a matter for the ETB to progress the project in that context.

Having said this, I am aware that there have been changes made to the scope of works on this project which has led to the need to provide revised reports. While there have been other issues identified with some of these reports which has taken time to work through with the ETB, officials in my Department are currently reviewing the most recent revised stage report. This review has taken longer than would normally be expected, but I can assure the Deputy that it is being progressed as quickly as possible.
