Welcoming the announcement he said, “I was pleased that Tánaiste Micheál Martin, along with Dublin MEP Barry Andrews, recently took the time to sit down with Ms. Fallon and I to thoroughly grasp the issues surrounding the school. Together, we discussed the critical importance of pushing this project across the finish line without further delay and I was delighted to receive confirmation from Minister Foley that a Letter of Intent was issued.
“I understand that the next major milestone will be the issue of the Letter of Acceptance to the successful contractor. This will be done following further engagement with the successful contractors in relation to their tenders for the design and construction of the new school. This engagement will also provide clarity on the contractor’s programme of works for the delivery of the projects and timelines. “Every child deserves a learning environment that matches their potential. The issuance of this letter of intent is a testament to Fianna Fái’s dedication to providing the best possible education for all students.
