The major school building project to which the Deputy refers has been devolved for delivery to Louth County Council.

I am pleased to advise that approval to issue the Letter of Acceptance to the preferred tenderer was sanctioned by my Department in April 2023. This Stage 4 approval now allows the project to proceed to Construction Stage. It is envisaged that works will begin onsite in the coming weeks.

It is a matter for Louth County Council, as the client for the project, to ensure that the project commences on site and is completed in accordance with the building programme for works.
