Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
355. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Education the current status of an application for capital funding by a school (details supplied) to instate two new ASD classes on site; and if there is a timeline for delivery available [45090/22]
View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that funding was approved under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2021 to enable the school in question to build a 2 Classroom SEN base.
The project has been devolved for delivery to the School Authority with the assistance of the Joint Managerial Body (JMB). The school has procured a consultant who will lead the project through the various stages of architectural planning and onwards through the statutory planning process, tender and construction.
My Department is currently awaiting the submission of a Stage 1 Report from the school. At this early stage in the architectural planning process, it is not possible to anticipate a completion date for the project.
