Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the date at which the authorities at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare received approval for the establishment of an autism spectrum disorder unit; the number of students for which it was intended to cater; the number of students now enrolled; the degree to which his Department is aware of the temporary nature of the accommodation in use for this purpose; the extent to which this limits and restricts the operation of the full range of facilities within this school; if his attention has been drawn to the numerous attempts by the school authorities to secure the relevant and necessary accommodation and facilities to operate the unit as originally intended; if he proposes to take any action to address his Department’s failure to honour its original commitments in this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
