Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 February 2022
299. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the progress that has been made to date in the provision of a new primary school (details supplied); when the school will commence enrolment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10590/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school to which he refers is one of 18 schools recently added to the programme of school building projects that have been devolved for delivery to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) under its Devolved Schools Building Programme 2. The project for the school in question provides for the construction of a 32-classroom new school building on a new site including a 4-classroom special education needs base.
The school is currently accommodated in an existing school building and the project that has recently been approved provides for the increase of enrolments for the school as outlined. The NDFA will commence the process of appointing a project management and design team shortly for the project which is being progressed with projects for five other schools as one bundle entitled Project Lee.
