Kildare North Labour General Election Candidate Emmet Stagg has welcomed finally the re-commencement of the Pre-Qualification Process of Contractors for the New St. Joseph's National School in Kilcock.
The Board of Management, stated Mr. Stagg, had to recommence the pre-qualification process following a legal challenge to the outcome of the previous pre-qualification process.
Contractors, stated Mr. Stagg, have until 28th May to register the interest in tendering for the new 16 classroom school which was granted planning permission by Kildare Co. Council on 23rd October, 2015.
Mr. Stagg stated that pupils, staff and the parents of pupils at the school 'will be disappointed at the delay with this project but the Board of Management had to recommence the process based on legal advice, and at least the project is now back on track.'
In conclusion Kildare North Labour General Election Candidate Emmet Stagg stated that he would continue to monitor progress with the project and will seek to minimise any further delays by requesting the Minister and his Department to work closely with the school authorities.
