1042. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education the status of an application for extension for a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30576/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that my Department is in receipt of an application for capital funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme, from the school authority referred to by the Deputy.
The purpose of the ASA scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream and Special Education Needs (SEN) accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year, where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.
Supplementary information was requested from the school authority and has recently been received. Once the application has been assessed, the school authority will be contacted directly with a decision.
