The school building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme.

The specific matter to which the Deputy refers was identified during the construction process and remedial measures put in place. The matter was satisfactorily resolved and is not an ongoing issue.

My Department is taking the appropriate steps to ensure it is completely satisfied that the building is fit for handover prior to accepting it. My Department is engaging with the contractor in this regard under the appropriate terms of the public works contract. While the conciliation process is underway, my Department will not make any further comment.
