Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2022
592. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Education when there will be a permanent building for a school (details supplied) given that first-year ASD provision in the form of a dedicated class is reportedly dependent on same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33606/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe project to which the Deputy refers has recently been devolved to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for delivery as part of a programme of school building projects.
The NDFA has been in contact with the school to introduce the team, communicate arrangements and discuss the project brief. The next step for the NDFA will be the appointment of a programme manager and full design team to guide this project through the architectural planning process through to completion.
I can confirm that the brief for this school does include a 4-class SEN base, but as the project is at an early stage of the architectural planning process, it is not possible to provide a timeline for its completion.
