Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 October 2023
89. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Education for an update on the request by a school (details supplied) that the modular unit works at the school include direction to complete a yard in order that this surface can later accommodate an astro-turf pitch; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46817/23]
View answerI am pleased to advise the Deputy that this school has been granted approval for the provision of two Special Education Needs classrooms and 2 SET rooms under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme.
I have been advised that from a professional and technical point of view, it will be feasible to install drainage after the modular project is delivered and certified as compliant under building regulations. The proposal outlined does not form part of the current project brief and therefore, cannot be considered by the Department at this time.
