Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2020
181. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Education and Skills if an application for additional accommodation by a school (details supplied) will be given consideration; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4104/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, a major project to provide an extension to the school in question is included in my Department's building programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP). It is intended that the project , when completed, will provide capacity for 1,000 students.
In the meantime, I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has approved additional interim accommodation for the school. The installation of this accommodation will be managed by the school's patron and my Department understands that arrangements are in train to appoint a Consultant to oversee the project.
