266. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the work on replacing prefabs at a school (details supplied) in Dublin 7 is proceeding in a timely fashion; and when this work will be completed. [3872/14]

The school referred to by the Deputy was recently approved a devolved grant under the Department's Rented Prefab Replacement Initiative Phase 2. A devolved project allows individual school authorities the means to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives them day to day control of their building project. It is a central tenet of the devolved schemes that responsibility for the management of a project, including cost control, the timing of tendering and construction rests with the school authority.
