Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2024
285. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Education the number of schools in the Santry, Whitehall and Dublin 9 catchment area who have applied for upgrades to their school buildings, including the amount spent since 2019, in tabular form. [7708/24]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the purpose of my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream and special education classroom accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year and where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation or at other schools in an area.
Where there is a need for accelerated delivery of such accommodation my Department utilises Modern Methods of Construction, including my Department's Modular Accommodation Framework, to meet the accommodation need. My Department has additionally put Project Management provision in place to support schools in the expedited delivery of this accommodation.
My Department has a large pipeline of projects for delivery under the school building programme, including in the Dublin 9 area.
Since 2020, my Department has invested in the region of €4.3 billion in our schools throughout the country, including the completion of over 750 school building projects with construction currently underway at approximately 300 other projects, which includes 34 new school buildings.
School building projects at construction involve an overall State investment of over €1.2 billion. We also have a large modular accommodation programme delivering urgently needed school places.
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.
Details of large-scale and ASA projects being delivered under the school building programme may be viewed on my Department's website at, www.gov.ie and this information is updated regularly. In addition, a list of large-scale projects completed from 2010 to date may also be viewed on the website.
Attached in tabular form is a list of schools in the Santry, Whitehall and Dublin 9 area, where funding has been provided for works, including upgrades to their school buildings, through my Department's Planning and Building Unit which includes, but is not limited to the ASA, Summer Works and Emergency Works Schemes. Each of these schemes serves a different purpose from emergency interim remedial measures, to upgrades of existing accommodation and to the provision of new accommodation and the spend in the table below gives an indication of the breadth of my Department’s investment in both existing and new school infrastructure.
