Written answers

Since 2020, my Department has invested in the region of €3.5 billion in our schools throughout the country, involving the completion of over 690 school building projects with construction currently underway at approximately 300 other projects.  School building projects at construction involve an overall State investment of over €1.2 billion.  We also have over 200 modular accommodation projects that are very well advanced for delivery or at construction stage.

This is a record level of investment in our schools and highlights the Government’s very strong track record of delivery in providing additional capacity and modern facilities for our school communities.

In Clondalkin & Lucan alone, we have invested in excess of €41m in our schools during 2023.  Currently there are 7 Large Scale or Additional Accommodation (ASA) school building projects under construction in Clondalkin & Lucan.  There are also 2 modular accommodation projects in Lucan that are at construction stage.

The key drivers of capital investment in the schools sector are as follows:

•demographic change, including keeping pace with delivery of SEN and accommodation for Ukrainian pupils particularly at Post Primary level,

•alignment with housing provision and national planning at school planning area level,    

•climate action objectives including deep energy retrofit. 

Key priorities for my Department are supporting the operation of the school system and adding necessary capacity to cater for special education needs provision, mainstream demographics and catering for students from Ukraine and other countries under the International Protection system.
