236. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Education and Skills if an application for funding for a sensory garden for a school (details supplied) will be expedited in view of the fact that the school has a successful Autism Spectrum Disorders, ASD, unit and a sensory garden is vital for that service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department provided very significant devolved funding to the school in question to provide a 470m2 two classroom ASD Unit.
The grant approved included funding for a large central activities space in the Unit together with a 200m2 secure hard/soft play area and six car parking spaces to meet the needs of the children attending the unit in question.
