Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills when she expects that the autism unit and corridor extension at a school (details supplied) in County Leitrim will commence construction; the expected completion date for same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40281/14]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, my Department approved significant devolved funding for the school in question to the relevant Education Training Board (ETB) to provide an ASD unit and 3 additional general classrooms. My Department is liaising with the ETB, in question, who are currently in the process of obtaining planning permission and other statutory approvals for the project concerned. It is anticipated that when such approvals are obtained, the project can proceed to tender and construction.
