As the Deputy will be aware, my Department is liaising with the Chief State Solicitor’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office in relation to the on-going legal process related to the schools built by the contractor to which he refers.  He will also be aware that proceedings have issued in a number of schools to date.  The next date Court date is expected to be in October 2019.  For legal reasons, my Department is not in a position, at this time, to provide any costs including legal, professional and other costs including construction and renovations costs to date.
