Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 November 2023
212. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Education the reason there are ongoing delays to a school build project that is urgently needed (details supplied); if her Department will engage with the school management to ensure these works are completed as a matter of priority; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIn relation to the school referred to by the Deputy, I am pleased to advise that the school in question was approved funding under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for a 2 classroom ASD base.
Officials from my Department have engaged on a number of occasions with the school’s design team. Information submitted by the design team was reviewed by the Professional and Technical team and comments were issued to the school in October 2023 with some points for clarification and response.
Once a response to the points raised is received, my Department and the design team will continue to work closely to progress this project to the next stage.
