421. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education when her Department will commence the refurbishment of a site in order that a school (details supplied) can move into the premises; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7514/22]
View answerThe school to which the deputy refers was granted approval for the refurbishment and extension of its school building under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2015.
My Department's Technical Team is currently reviewing a Stage 2B report with the objective of progressing the project to planning stage. The Department will be in contact with the school authorities following the conclusion of this review, at which stage the school will work with its Design Team on the review's findings.
At this particular stage, it is too early to give a timeframe as to when the school in question can move into the site. However, my Department is committed to moving this project forward as expeditiously as possible.
