View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that funding was approved under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2019 to enable the school in question to build a two classroom SEN base, one staff room, one multi-purpose room, one nurses office, toilets and ancillary accommodation.
The support of Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB was sought to assist the school in procuring a consultant. This consultant has now been appointed and the project is currently at preliminary design stage. The appointed consultant will lead the project through the various stages of architectural planning and onwards through the statutory planning process and construction.
