Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 January 2023
455. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Education the status of the new ASD unit for a school (details supplied); if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a stage 1a report was submitted in early 2022, that all clarifications requested have been sent and that the school have had no communication from her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4663/23]
View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that funding was approved under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to enable the school in question to build a 2 Classroom SEN Base.
In April 2022 the School Authority submitted a Stage 1/2a report which was reviewed by the Department's Professional & Technical Team and combined comments requesting additional information were issued to the School Authority to action. To date, not all requested information has been supplied and an updated request has been sent to the School Authority in this regard.
