Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2018
232. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of general purpose rooms at both primary and post-primary school level for which approval has been formally granted in each of the years 2011 to 2017 and to date in 2018, in tabular form; if the school in question for which such a facility was granted was an existing school or a new school in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53152/18]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the provision of general purpose rooms and PE Halls form part of the accommodation brief for all newly established schools. These facilities may also form part of the overall accommodation brief for major capital extensions to existing schools. The accommodation brief for major capital projects also includes a range of other accommodation for the school project in question and my Department does not capture the specific information requested by the Deputy.
Details of large-scale projects being delivered under the school building programme may be viewed on my Department's website, www.education.ie and this information is updated regularly. In addition, a list of large-scale projects completed from 2010 to date may also be viewed on the website.
