At today’s meeting of the Kildare Wicklow Education and Training Board, Councillor Naoise O’Cearuil pressed for further updates regarding the progression of the retendering of the project following Sammon’s Liquidation.
The timescale is as follows :
25th June: Pre qualify contractors for retendering…
23rd July: Survey of contractors
8th November: Contract Award
End of March ’19: Contractor On Site
Completion: June 2020
Naoise commented, “This has pushed the completion date for the project to an entire year. The biggest concern now is that the current building is full to capacity and needs refurbishing, students and staff deserve better. The ETB have committed to renovations in the school and provide further temporary class rooms.”
“I will push to have the process of retendering expedited as much as possible and liaise with the ETB to ensure that the necessary provisions are made for the next two academic terms.
