Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
407. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education if she will expedite permission to proceed with construction work for approved additional accommodation without further delay at a school (details supplied) which includes a two-class SEN base, an additional SET room and an assisted users' WC; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49814/22]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers was granted approval under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2021.
The approval was for the provision of 1 SET Room, 2 Classroom SEN Base and 1 User Assisted WC. The project has been devolved for delivery to the school authority and is currently at the Design Stage. At this early stage of the architectural planning process, it is not possible for my Department to predict when this project will go to construction.
As this project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery, it is currently the responsibility of the school and its appointed Design Team to progress the project in that regard.
