Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2020
277. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding has been made available to put in additional new prefabs to accommodate students for September 2020 in a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5032/20]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, a major project to provide an extension to the existing school building is included in my Department's building programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP).
In this regard, the procurement of the Design Team to deliver the project has commenced.
I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department approved grant to the school's patron in 2019 for the provision of interim accommodation and the patron has advised that the accommodation was installed in January 2020.
