Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 February 2023
206. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Education the current status of a school building project (details supplied) in County Tipperary; if the project will be expedited and the necessary funding provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5723/23]
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 accommodation for students with special education needs is available to cater for students enrolled each year, where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.
When the assessment process is completed, the school authority will be contacted directly with a decision.
