Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2024
370. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question No. 360 of 20 March 2024, if she will offer a timeframe for commencement and completion of building works for those schools which submitted a stage one response in February 2023. [16759/24]
View answerThe project to which the Deputy refers is to provide a 4 classroom Special Education Needs base, general purpose room and ancillary accommodation under my Departments Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme.
The project was devolved for delivery to the school authority. I can confirm that this project recently received my Department's approval to progress to stage 2b (detailed design and planning). The Department is now awaiting a post planning report from the school for review.
In advance of securing the necessary statutory approval in particular, it is not possible to accurately predict when this school building project will go to construction or when it will be completed.
