Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
193. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills when funding to provide an ASD class in a school (details supplied) will be released; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39392/16]
View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school to which she refers has been approved funding for the conversion of an existing vacant classroom into an ASD Classroom under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2016.
The project has been devolved for delivery to the school authority and it is now a matter for the school authority to progress the project as quickly as possible. The first tranche of funding will be released when the project goes on site.
