Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2020
782. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for Education the timescale for the provision of an ASD unit at a school (details supplied); the position regarding the appointment of a design team for the school extension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33144/20]
View answerI am pleased to inform the deputy that the extension project to which he refers includes a 2 classroom SEN base (ASD Unit).
This project has been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects. The NDFA has started preparations for the appointment of a design team for the project.
At this early stage, it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project; the NDFA will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
