Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 May 2022
110. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education when a decision will be made on a ASA application for a school (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26723/22]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy, that my Department has recently received an application under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme from the school authority in question.
The purpose of the ASA scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream classroom and Special Education Needs (SEN) accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year, where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.
The application is currently being assessed and the school authorities will be notified directly with a decision when this assessment is completed.
