91. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of extra students in a new building for a school (details supplied). [21790/18]
View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy is a special school which provides for the special educational needs of children with autism who have such complex needs that they are best placed in a special school.
The new school building project is due to proceed to tender at the end of this month for the delivery of a new 2-storey 6-classroom base special needs school with a General Purpose Room and ancillary accommodation.
The National Council for Special Education has advised that the additional placements this project will deliver will meet the projected need for students with ASD and complex needs requiring a special school placement in the area.
