Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
453. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education to provide an update on an extension for a school (details supplied); the stage the project is currently at; when the project will move to planning and construction stage; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36302/23]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the school referred to was approved substantial funding under my Department's Additional School Accommodation scheme for the provision of a mainstream classroom, a music room, a textiles room, an art room, graphics room, two multimedia rooms, a science laboratory and preparation area, two technology and shared areas and a three special educational needs class base.
The project is devolved for delivery to the school authority which appointed a design team to progress the project through the various stages of architectural design, planning and construction. This team's stage 1 design report is currently being reviewed by my Department's professional and technical officials and is nearing completion. My Department will revert to the school directly with the outcome of this review shortly.
