Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 March 2017
138. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of plans to provide additional classrooms at a school (details supplied); if prefabs are likely to be required; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12220/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the primary school in question is recognised as a single stream school and is expected to continue operating at this level. There is no requirement therefore for additional classrooms.
The Deputy will be aware that the school building in which the primary school is accommodated is also hosting a new post primary school during its start-up years. In that regard, it is my Department's intention to construct a new school building for the post-primary school and architectural planning to deliver the building project concerned has commenced.
