102. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Education if she will ensure that an application from Cavan Monaghan ETB in respect of urgently needed additional accommodation for a college (details supplied) is processed speedily to allow for the new modular buildings to be available at the beginning of the 2023-2024 academic year; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [56772/22]
View answerI can confirm that my Department recently received an application for capital funding, under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme, from the school authority referred to by the Deputy.
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.
On completion of the assessment process, the school authority will be contacted directly with a decision.
