Deputy James O'Connor asked the Minister for Education the position regarding the additional accommodation project application lodged by a school (details supplied); the reason for the delay in assessment of the amended Stage 1 Report, which was submitted to her Department as requested in April 2023; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47928/23]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for the provision of 4 mainstream classrooms and a 2 classroom SEN base.
I am pleased to advise that the review by officials at my Department has been completed, and the project was approved to Stage 2B in October 2023. It is now the responsibility of the design team on behalf of the school authority, to progress the project to the next stage.
My Department will continue to liaise with the school authority as this project progresses through all the required stages.
