Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2023
93. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Education if she will provide an update on when a school (details supplied) will progress to the next stage of their building project; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22809/23]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers to was approved funding under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for the provision of 7 x General Classrooms, En-suite Toilet & 1 x Assisted Toilet, 2 x SEN Base & Purchase of Interim Accommodation of 1 x 100m2 General Classroom. The project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery.
My Department issued a letter of approval in respect of the Modular Accommodation and the final drawdown of funds was issued recently. The school authorities have submitted a Stage 1 Design Report in respect of the other aspects of the ASA project which has been forwarded to my Department's Technical Team for review. Once this review is complete, the Department will advise the school authorities directly regarding the next stage of the process.
