Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 October 2012
198. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills when he expects to have an Autism Spectrum Disorders unit open at a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42703/12]
View answerThe building project referred to by the Deputy was included in the 5 year construction programme announced in March and is scheduled to commence construction in 2013.
The stage 2(b) submission was recently approved by my Department and will shortly progress to tender and then construction.
However, until the project has been tendered and a contractor appointed it will not be possible to give a definitive date for the opening of the unit.
