Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2023
310. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Education to provide an update on her engagement with a school (details supplied); when the works will be completed; if she will accept that the project is urgently needed for the school community; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy was approved funding under my Department's Additional School Accommodation Scheme for the provision of a two classroom special education needs base. The project is devolved for delivery to the school authority and it appointed a design team for the project.
Department officials visited the school earlier this year in order to give whatever practical assistance was possible to progress the project. Further recommendations and comments were issued to the Design Team in recent weeks and my Department is now awaiting a submission from the school authority. Upon completion of the review of that submission, further communication will issue directly to the school authority in order to progress this project forward to the next stage of the architectural process.
