Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
422. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Education the developments that have been made in considering the demographic need for a college (details supplied); if the process has been completed within her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50058/22]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy, that the school in question submitted an application under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme.
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.
I can confirm that my Department has approved considerable capital funding under the ASA scheme for the school in question and that this project has been devolved to the school authorities for delivery.
